Race day is almost here! The 2016 Zappos.com Bay to Breakers is this Sunday. Register in person at Pier 35 on Friday or Saturday at the official race Expo. Don’t forget to purchase an all-day Muni pass at the Expo to make getting around on race day easy!

The big reveal of the new SFMOMA is here! After three years of construction and closed doors, this Saturday is the Grand Opening, and Muni will take you directly to all the festivities! The SFMOMA is hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony and neighborhood institutions are celebrating the day by opening to the public free of charge.
At the ribbon cutting, enjoy musicians, street entertainers, and chalk artists as well as performers from SFJAZZ, the SF Conservatory Collective, the Chinese American International School and Circus Center. Guests will also hear from Neal Benezra, SFMOMA Helen and Charles Schwab Director, along with museum and civic leaders.
The ribbon cutting and opening day events are free to the public; however, the 5,000 free tickets are gone. Museum entry on Opening Day is sold out. You can still purchase tickets for May 15 through Labor Day at sfmoma.org.
See a complete list of participating neighborhood partners at sfmoma.org/opening-celebrations, and this printable map will help you navigate your way around the neighborhood.
