Pride weekend is almost here, San Francisco!  This weekend, hundreds of thousands of people will gather to celebrate one of San Francisco’s biggest weekends, culminating with the Pride Parade on Sunday. Before the celebrations, we have some important safety reminders:  Look out for one another. Crowds are expected to be large, so keep an eye on friends and family at all times.  Report anything concerning.  Know that every first responder, city worker, and volunteer is there to help everyone celebrate safely.  Whether you are joining the Trans March on Friday, the Dyke March on Saturday, or walking down Market for Sunday’s Pride Parade—during celebrations across our city, your safety is our top priority. Happy Pride, and let’s go, San Francisco!

Summer is officially here, and so are free summer meals! Every weekday until August 15, anyone age 18 and under can receive a free breakfast, lunch, or snack at 14 sites in #SanFrancisco. Find a site near you here: sf.gov/2026-free-summ…

Out in the heat and looking for relief? SF.gov/heat has you covered! Find drinking fountains, pools, and air-conditioned public spaces all around the city on our Heat Wave Map. Stay cool and hydrated this week!   If your home is uncomfortably hot, consider visiting an air-conditioned public space to cool off, such as libraries, shopping malls, community centers, or swimming pools. Si hace mucho calor en su casa, considere ir a algún lugar público que tenga aire acondicionado para poder refrescarse, como bibliotecas, centros comerciales, centros comunitarios o piscinas. 如家中過於炎熱，可考慮前往設有冷氣的公共場所降溫，例如圖書館、購物商場、社區中心或游泳池 Kung ang inyong tahanan ay lubhang napakainit, pag isipan ang pag bisita sa pampublikong lugar para mag mag palamig, tulad ng mga aklatan, mga shopping mall, community center, o mga swimming pool.
