Looking for the best things to do in San Francisco and the Bay Area during MLK weekend? Add these family-friendly events to your list for the long weekend.

2024 may have just started, but it's already time for a long holiday weekend. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day takes place this Monday, and the Bay Area has a variety of events to choose from that will honor the trailblazing activist. Bring the kids to the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. National Day of Service at the African Diaspora or the MLK2024 Music Festival at Yerba Buenas Gardens to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. and learn some history outside the classroom. Both happen to be free events in San Francisco.

Don't let the (still) forecasted rain dampen your weekend plans. Cheer on the Harlem Globetrotters and enjoy some entertaining basketball indoors as they take on everything from trick shots to long jump shots in Oakland, San Jose, and San Francisco this weekend.

Note that some outdoor events are announcing cancellations due to the forecasted rain this weekend, so be sure to check the event website before attending.
