Weekend Roundup: Where San Franciscans are Spending the Summer

During July and August, many of San Francisco’s most sophisticated denizens head out of town. A quick glance at society photographer Drew Altizer’s website and it’s obvious that nothing is happening. When it comes to galas and other charitable events, summer is the off season. Plus, the city’s weather is notoriously chilly—there is not a single San Franciscan who doesn’t think of Mark Twain’s infamous quote (“The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.) at least once during the windy and cold break. If there was ever a time to skip town, it’s now. So just where is everyone spending their break? Find out below.
