San Francisco is always buzzing, but here are five things to be excited about right now.
SPORTS FEVER
The world is figuring out what we’ve known forever: San Francisco is a great place to be a sports fan. Gear up for must-see sporting events in 2025, including NBA All-Star Weekend (February), the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament (March) and the Laver Cup (September), showcasing the world’s top tennis talents. This year, the Bay Area will also get the first new WNBA team in 15 years, the Golden State Valkyries. And is it too early to get excited about the FIFA World Cup and Super Bowl LX in 2026? We think not.
TRY OUT TECH
Whether you’re checking in with LUMA Hotel’s robot staff members, gazing at digital art installations at Salesforce Tower or hailing an autonomous Waymo car, you’ll get a glimpse into the future while visiting the world’s top tech hub.
COFFEE CULTURE
WalletHub recently called San Francisco the best coffee city in America. Taste the next wave of java at hot spots like Kopiku, brewing up Indonesian coffee, and Outset, serving coffee drinks flavored with fruity ingredients like Thai durian and toasted banana.
GO GREEN
Two newly opened parks give visitors even more natural beauty to enjoy. China Basin Park in the Mission Rock neighborhood overlooks Oracle Park and links to the 350-mile Bay Trail, while Panorama Park at Yerba Buena Island boasts 360-degree city views, crowned with a sculpture by Japanese artist Hiroshi Sugimoto.
A LEGEND TURNS 100
The Legion of Honor, one of San Francisco’s most venerable art museums, celebrates its centennial in 2025 with special programs, exhibitions and events on deck throughout the year.
