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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Audium-Theatre of Sound

<a href="https://www.honeygoldexperience.com/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Honey Gold</a>, the immersive audio/visual collaboration created by Louisiana artists Sariah Sizemore
and Taylor Matherne, will perform in San Francisco on June 28, 2026, continuing the project’s growing evolution as a live immersive audiovisual experience blending original music, voice, sound design, projection-mapped visuals, and meditative storytelling.

On June 28, Honey Gold travels to San Francisco for two performances at<a href="https://www.audium.org/?utm_source=chatgpt.com" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank"> </a><a href="https://www.audium.org/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Audium</a> at 5 p.m. and 7:45 p.m. Audium is internationally recognized for its pioneering work in immersive and spatial sound, making it a particularly meaningful venue for the project’s Bay Area presentation. The evening will include a site-specific installation experience inside Audium’s lobby and theater spaces, blending projection, sound design, candlelight, and live performance into an immersive sensory environment. Tickets are available at: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-honey-gold-experience-at-audium-in-san-francisco-tickets-1990152538817?aff=oddtdtcreator" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Honey Gold @ Audium Tickets</a>
Honey Gold was co-created by Sizemore and Matherne as a shared artistic vision, shaped by their experiences as artists born and raised in Louisiana who used music and art to process the complexities, intensity, and emotional realities of growing up in the South. The project is also informed by Sizemore’s decades in the Bay Area’s experimental audio/visual and healing arts communities, blending immersive performance, original music, projection-mapped visuals, and emotionally restorative experiences designed to help audiences reconnect with themselves and each other.
Matherne, a multi-instrumentalist, bassist, composer, and touring musician, brings years of live performance experience spanning blues, experimental music, and immersive sound-driven composition. Sizemore’s background spans music, immersive healing arts, and more than two decades working in the technology industry, including leadership roles supporting audio software and hardware development at companies such as Avid and Native Instruments. Together, those experiences continue to shape Honey Gold’s intersection of art, meditation, music, technology, and visual storytelling.
Together, they developed Honey Gold as an experience designed to move audiences through tension, release, reflection, awe, and emotional connection, using layered music, immersive visuals, sound-healing elements, and a carefully shaped spatial atmosphere.
“Both Baton Rouge and the Bay Area have expanded my world creatively throughout my lifetime,” said Sizemore. “Coming back home to Baton Rouge and meeting Taylor through the local live music scene brought those worlds together in a way I never expected. His artistry as a musician and the intimacy of creating together as partners helped shape Honey Gold into something deeply personal for both of us. This project really grew out of our shared love of music, immersive art, healing, and creating spaces where people can breathe, feel, and reconnect during a really intense moment in the world.”
The visual dimension of Honey Gold is collaboratively created by the Honey Gold creative team, led by Creative Director Taylor Stoma and Visual Art Lead Ryan Golden, with overarching visual curation and creative direction guided by Sizemore and Matherne. The project’s immersive visual environments combine layered visual storytelling, projection mapping, archival and contemporary imagery, and reactive visual systems designed specifically for each venue and performance environment.
Honey Gold debuted in July 2025 at the Virginia and John Noland Black Box Studio inside the Cary Saurage Community Arts Center in Baton Rouge. A second Baton Rouge performance followed at the City Club of Baton Rouge in January 2026.
The project is fiscally sponsored by the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge, which serves as Honey Gold’s nonprofit umbrella as the team continues developing larger immersive productions, future full-dome film work, and expanded performances in new markets.
On October 3, 2026, Honey Gold will present a special adapted live performance inside the Irene W. Pennington Planetarium at the Louisiana Art &amp; Science Museum in Baton Rouge. The team is also actively fundraising for a future full-dome film version of Honey Gold, currently planned for completion in 2027.
