Dolores Park welcomes the sun splashing down to warm her green, grassy face. Happy inhabitants gather to drink in the sunshine, socialize, and relax. Children play, dogs romp, and the city watches from the distance. Vendors peddle all sorts of wares, from drinks to special brownies, and lovers are free to express themselves to each other, regardless of gender. The sun in Dolores Park, who welcomes all comers.

Every four years in July, Dolores Park meets its match. Thousands of Bay Area soccer fanatics converge on the Mission, beers in tow, faces painted, flags waving, and cram themselves onto a little square of grass to watch the World Cup Final on mega screen. Side by side, eyes glued to the drama unfolding on the field, all political affiliations and cultural gaps fall away. Only one thing matters: that your team wins. Coming together as a community for such a special event is a beautiful thing- the buzz in the air, the sharing of booze and organic chips, the smell of body odor and joints… Say it with me: only four short months until South Africa.
San Francisco Travel Deals
A rare sunny summer's day, a couple thousand local leftists, and the Tony-Award-winning San Francisco Mime Troupe exemplifies the classic experience of this fair city. Now wrap your head around this: These mimes talk! A lot. And sing, tell jokes, dance, do slapstick and get the raucous crowd involved in the politically-themed musical theater which has made them an institution here since 1959. Dolores Park is just a couple blocks from the Spanish mission where Hitchcock filmed Vertigo, and even better, it's right near some of the best eateries in this highly culinary city. Why not pack some fresh sourdough and truffle butter and sit out on the broad grassy slope and let the mimes edutain you in high style. (If you miss them here, find the troupe performing in other parks scattered throughout the city.)
