Whew, it’s been a busy week, everyone. A citywide basketball championship parade and countless Pride events, and there’s still no sign of the fun slowing down. Whether you’re ready to cuddle into bed or let loose during a night out, there’s plenty to do.
We’ve created a full guide to Pride here, but if you want to avoid the crowds, there are still other events for you to choose from.
The Castro Theatre turns 10
The Castro Theatre is celebrating its centennial anniversary with a gift to moviegoers: admission to five of San Francisco’s most revered films for $1 a ticket. The day’s screenings include well-known movies, like the wildly-beloved “Mrs. Doubtfire” (1993), starring Robin Williams, and films that may be unfamiliar to a modern audience, like “San Francisco” (1936).
More information about tickets and movie screening schedules can be found here.

Stop by to try their specialty drinks (the menu ranges from “cafe-quality decafs” to “sweet, syrupy medium roasts”), or to just feel welcomed.
