SF Giants FanFest
Roam the outfield like Hunter Pence or meet all-star new edition Andrew McCutchen at the Giants FanFest at AT&T Park. The all-day event features a Q&A, autograph session and kids zone. You can also tour the stadium press box and clubhouse, and maybe sprinkle a little magic pixie dust to erase all memory of last year’s disastrous season. Saturday, 2/10, 10am-3pm.

Chinese New Year Mini Parade
The actual Chinese New Year is not for another week (2/16), but you can get a jump on the festivities, and avoid the massive crowds, at this kick-off mini-procession for the Year of the Dog. Lion dancers, stilt walkers, drummers, walking puppets and local politicians are part of the procession that starts at St. Mary’s Square, rolls through Chinatown down Grant Ave, and ends up at the Flower Fair on Washington. Saturday, 2/10, 10:15am.

SF Beer Week Battle of the Bands
Beer, live music, food trucks, outdoors on a (partly) sunny day. Say no more. This kick-off event to SF Beer Week, and sponsored by Anchor Brewing, features a variety of beers from long-time SF brewery, including limited releases and latest creations. Meet the brewmeisters, choose from over 10 food trucks and rock out to local music at SoMa StrEat Food Park. Saturday, 2/10, noon-4pm.

Randall Museum Grand Reopening
High atop the hill in Corona Heights Park between the Castro and Haight, the often overlooked Randall Museum has gone through a major $9 million renovation and is finally ready for its grand reopening. The museum has always been about free hands-on nature and science for kids. And now you can explore the high-tech STEM lab, geology/seismology exhibit and live animal enclosures with natural habitats. The celebration also features live entertainment, and a model train exhibit. Sunday, 2/11, 10am-3pm.

Ski Bus to Tahoe
Great idea, Sports Basement! Everyone loves hitting the slopes in Tahoe, but no one likes the long boring drive. Enter the sports outfitter with a $75 roundtrip bus that picks you up at its store on Bryant St., or in Sunnyvale, and whisks you off on its luxury liner to Squaw Valley or Alpine Meadows. Take a nap, wake up for included breakfast, snacks or drinks, and enjoy a solid 5 hours of skiing or snowboarding. Saturday or Sunday, 2/10-11, 6:30am-8pm.
