July = full forth chilly San Francisco “summer”! Bring your jackets, but get ready to take it off if you venture outside of San Francisco. A 15 minute drive can be a 10 degree (F) difference! Also, even a Bay Area native (pretty much), I didn’t realize there are over 100 celebrations all over the Bay Area for the 4th of July! Make sure to check out our post listing all of them (with a map), so you can pick the best one for your family!
