250 years of individuality
The Bay Area’s weekly roundup of arts, culture, and community | July 3 to 9, 2026
We’re keeping things short and sweet this holiday weekend. There’s plenty of celebration surrounding the 250th anniversary of our country, but we are going to do things a little differently. We want to honor and uplift some of the differences that make us us and the ways that these differences are supported and accepted. Check out our accessible calendar for this month and enjoy the performing arts in the way that works best for you. — Ciara
