Valentine's Goat Cuddling

That's right, Valentine's Day but with goats. Spend time with that special someone during this unique happy hour event in North Beach that features goat cuddling, photos with goats, local art and artists and, of course, beverages for all ages. All proceeds from this event will go to support City Grazing, a local charitable organization that provides landscaping aimed at sustainable land management and fire risk reduction through the use of goat grazing.

How to Get There on Muni: Head to the event using the 8 Bayshore, 30 Stockton, 39 Coit or 45 Union/Stockton routes.

Muni Service Notes: There are no planned service changes for this event.

Remember that you can take Muni for the entire day for a single $5 fare. The new $5 Day Pass, available on MuniMobile®, is part of Muni’s recent fare changes. The pass is intended to encourage a safe, convenient way to pay your fare and quickly board Muni vehicles, which reduces overall travel time for everyone. The $5 Day Pass is Muni bus, rail and historic streetcars only.
