Mix up your holiday shopping with fun this weekend with a visit to Fort Mason Center. There are many new, interesting things going on at this hub for nonprofit organizations.
Got a sweet tooth in the family? This Sunday, December 11, the free SFMADE Holiday Gift Fair offers locally made gift items including: jewelry, bags, and chocolate, home items, apparel, body products, children’s wear, pet gear, and stationery.
A visit to the Outdoor Exploratorium is fun for all ages. Another new feature is a series of functional outdoor sculptures by local artists that will stimulate your imagination. It's called the SEAT exhibit, and it is free to visitors. The show offers Bay view benches that are also art, a total of 35 unique seats from which to enjoy views of the Golden Gate Bridge and San Francisco Bay.
Enjoy dining on the water at the sundrenched, artsy Greens Restaurant or the nearby Readers Bookstore and Cafe .
