The Fourth of July weekend in San Francisco is the peak of scarf and hat weather here. We’re not talking wool by any means, but layers are a definite necessity in July… at… all… times. While the rest of the nation’s eyes are warmly fixated upon explosions illuminating clear summer darkness, San Franciscans often watch the dense deluge of fog creep in on July 4th afternoon, protecting us from the scary night sky, like a blanket swaddling a wee babe. However, a whole shebang of fireworks celebrations is scheduled on the Fourth, regardless of the slim chance of unblemished heavens.

Forgetting rockets and sparklers for a hot minute, you may want to check out the SF BBQ Rib Throwdown on Sunday, July 3rd. Coffee Bar in Potrero Hill plays host 4 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., where and when $20 gets you a pour of Lagunitas (or house wine), four tasting portions of BBQ ribs, and a signature side dish from each vendor. You get to help pick the winner!
