This week we've got events to offend ghosts, shark facts, mysterious chicken bones, a whole haunted hoard of Halloween parties, and more.
For people who depend on the hormone, 2026 has been a grotesque nightmare.
This week we've got pruning, taxidermy, corn, cardboard, making U2 mad, and more.
Welcome to the COYOTE Calendar. Here are this week's handpicked events, just for you.
In the immortal words of Rob Thomas: man, it's a hot one. Stay hydrated and cool, friends. Here are some tips if you don't have AC. Or, get this dream job working and living in the Point Reyes Residential Lighthouse and you won't need AC.
This weekend there are some last-gasp-of-summer festivals and parties, including Petaluma River Craft Beer Fest (exactly what it sounds like), Tiny Fest ("dance with fairies and oracles"), and Best Buck in the Bay Rodeo & Festival (gay rodeo). There are still a handful of tickets to the Chautauqua Revue up in Occidental, and Thursday kicks off Bay Area Theatre Week, which spans 35 different theaters from Sonoma to Saratoga. If you're more interested in the sets than you are in the actors, Thursday also marks the beginning of the 23rd Annual Architecture + City Festival which runs through the end of the month. Later in the week, the Berkeley Old-Time Music Convention kicks off, as does Unity Fest.
School is back in session and I may have gone a tiny bit overboard with academic talks this week, but I just couldn't decide what to cut! Some weeks are for brain growing, some weeks are for booty throwing. I don't make the rules! I just report what I find.
This week we've also got pruning, taxidermy, corn, cardboard, making U2 mad, and more. We'll post new events each Wednesday. Go forth and enjoy!
