But wait! Are you sure there's not a rogue llama parade happening down by the pier? Maybe a spontaneous kazoo march through Chinatown? Check your local rumor mill, but generally speaking, Wednesdays in San Francisco are parade-free zones.
Don't despair! Here's what you can do instead:
 |
- Channel your inner parade participant: Grab your loudest outfit (think clashing patterns and excessive sequins) and march around your living room. Bonus points for recruiting pets or houseplants as fellow marchers.
- Plan for the future! San Francisco has a vibrant parade scene. Bookmark SF Pride to keep yourself updated on the upcoming LGBTQ+ Pride Parade, or research the amazing Chinese New Year Parade (prepare to be dazzled by dragons!).
- Embrace the non-parade-ness: San Francisco offers a million and one things to do besides watching floats go by. Hit up a museum, explore Golden Gate Park, or stuff your face with delicious sourdough bread. The possibilities are endless!
