September’s topic is Ses Otter Spectacular. Otters are an amazing keystone species that help to keep our ocean healthy. Let's celebrate how far this marine mammal has come, from being hunted extensively for their luxurious fur, to the work The Marine Mammal Center does to bring sea otters back from the brink of extinction. Adorable otter content guaranteed.
Admission is free, but tickets must be reserved in advance.

Celebrate America 250 at San Francisco’s Biggest Fourth of July Pub Crawl
San Francisco knows how to throw a Fourth of July party and this year’s celebration will be bigger than usual. On Saturday, July 4, 2026, the annual Fourth of July Pub Crawl returns to the Marina for a day of drink specials, DJs, contests, party favors &amp; Independence Day fun.
The Fourth of July Pub Crawl has been bringing people together for more than 15 years. Thousands of guests have taken part over the years, making it one of the largest Independence Day parties in the San Francisco Bay Area. Whether you live nearby or are visiting for the weekend, the event offers an easy way to meet people, visit some of the Marina’s favorite bars, and start the holiday before heading toward the waterfront for the fireworks.
<a href="https://www.july4sf.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Fourth of July Pub Crawl 2026</a>
The pub crawl takes place from 2PM to 10PM at more than 10 bars in San Francisco’s Marina District
Participating bars include: Jaxson, Union Street Ale House, Wizards &amp; Wands, The Blue Light, Rick &amp; Roxy’s, Palm House, White Rabbit, The Brixton, Westwood, Comet Club &amp; more
There is no required route. Guests receive a pub crawl map at check-in and can choose where they would like to go.
Where and When to Check In
All participants should begin at Rick &amp; Roxy’s:
Rick &amp; Roxy’s 2131 Lombard Street San Francisco, CA 94123
Check-in is available from 2PM to 8PM.
At check-in, you can pick up their event wristband and pub crawl map. The wristband provides access to the drink specials and activities at participating locations.
Arriving earlier gives you more time to visit the bars, take part in the contests and enjoy the daytime side of the celebration. It can also make meeting up with a group much easier before the Marina gets busier later in the afternoon.
 The San Francisco Hot Dog Eating Contest
One of the biggest parts of the event is the annual San Francisco Hot Dog Eating Contest. See some of San Francisco's best amateur competitive eaters throw down some hot dogs for their chance to be the San Francisco Hot Dog Eating Champion for 2026!
Click here to sign up for the contest: <a href="https://crawlsf.com/events/san-francisco-fourth-july-pub-crawl-hot-dog-eating-contest/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">crawlsf.com/events/san-francisco-fourth-july-pub-crawl-hot-dog-eating-contest/</a>
Even if you have no interest in entering, watching the contest is part of the experience. The Hot Dog Eating Contest adds a classic American Fourth of July tradition to the party. Hot dogs, cold drinks, cheering crowds, and a little friendly competition are a pretty good match for Independence Day.
 The San Francisco Pie Eating Contest
The hot dogs are not the only food taking center stage. The Fourth of July Pub Crawl will also include the San Francisco Pie Eating Contest. Contestants will race to finish their pie as quickly as possible with no hands allowed.
 What Comes With a Pub Crawl Ticket?
A ticket includes access to the Fourth of July Pub Crawl and its participating venues. Event features include:
<ul><li>Drink specials at participating bars</li><li>Free entry to participating locations</li><li>DJs</li><li>Fourth of July party favors</li><li>The Find the Gnome Contest</li><li>The San Francisco Hot Dog Eating Contest</li><li>The San Francisco Pie Eating Contest</li><li>A pub crawl map</li><li>Access to more than 10 Marina bars</li></ul>

The Find the Gnome Contest
The Find the Gnome Contest gives participants another reason to crawl! Gnomes will be hidden in some of the participating bars and if you find one, you can win some awesome prizes. Finding them may take a sharp eye, a good guess or a little luck.
 Start at the Pub Crawl and Finish With Fireworks
One of the best things about the event is its location.
The Marina is close to several popular areas for viewing the San Francisco Fourth of July fireworks. After spending the afternoon at the pub crawl, participants can make their way toward the waterfront for the evening show.
Marina Green, Fort Mason and areas near the northern waterfront may offer views depending on weather and visibility. San Francisco summer nights can be cool and windy, so bringing a jacket is a smart move even if the afternoon feels warm.
San Francisco Fireworks Details: <a href="https://crawlsf.com/independence-day-fireworks-in-the-bay-area/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">crawlsf.com/independence-day-fireworks-in-the-bay-area/</a>
The pub crawl runs until 10PM, but guests who want to watch the fireworks can leave the participating bars earlier and walk toward their preferred viewing area.
Make the Most of July 4 in San Francisco
The Fourth of July Pub Crawl offers more than a place to grab a drink. It creates a full afternoon of games, contests, music, food and holiday activities across one of San Francisco’s best nightlife areas.
This year’s America 250 celebration makes the event even more special. It is a chance to take part in a major anniversary while enjoying a party that has been part of San Francisco’s Fourth of July weekend for over 15 years.
Check in at Rick &amp; Roxy’s, pick up your wristband and map, and get ready for San Francisco’s biggest Fourth of July party.
