Other tips:

Crissy Field is a large grassy area ideal for picknicking. It overlooks the San Francisco Bay with stunning views of the Golden Gate Bridge. We'll have light sandwiches, snacks, and cake along with musical entertainment.

We highly recommend bringing:

  • sunblock
  • a light sweater or jacket (as the breezes from the Bay can keep the meadow quite cool)
  • blankets to stretch out on during the Celebration.
