Get outside this week.
Start off strong with outdoor flow at the Ferry Building, then wrap things up with al fresco parties in downtown SF and on the lawn at OMCA. Lots of local restaurants have you covered for Easter Sunday and the start of Passover—or you could always just escape to Lake Tahoe.
Jump ahead to this week's top events:
Get into the spring spirit with surf movie screenings and live music at The Riptide.
Take to the streets with Reggie Watts at April's Downtown First Thursday party.
Head out for the first OMCA Friday night shindig of the season.
Shake it out at a Midway block party.
