With vaccinations rolling along and Bay Area counties moving out of restrictive tiers, we’re seeing more and more reopenings of movie theaters, museums, attractions and even live music.
Below is a regularly updated list of what we know is open. Check back for updates to guide your weekend planning, and as always, adhere to your county’s mandates and guidance for masks and social distancing.
Got something to be considered for this list? Let us know here.
Note: Hours and policies may be different than what you were used to pre-pandemic. It’s advised to follow the links to each venue’s website for more details.
