Spring Loaded: Your March SF Bucket List
March 4th, 2026 \\ RentSFNow Blog
March in San Francisco is a total mood. The fog starts to thin, the sun stays out an hour longer, and the city’s social calendar is officially “on.” Whether you’re a newcomer or a Mission District veteran, here’s how to own the month.
The Big Green Party
Celebrate the 175th anniversary of the St. Patrick’s Day Parade on March 14. This milestone marks nearly two centuries of San Francisco history. Stake out a spot on Market Street early to catch the floats and performance groups, then head to your favorite local pub for the real celebration.
Giants Fan Fest: Open House at Oracle Park
Also on March 14, Oracle Park opens its gates for the Giants Fan Fest. It’s your chance to walk the field, sit in the dugout, and tour the clubhouse for free. They’re broadcasting the Spring Training game against the D-backs on the scoreboard, and you can grab photos with the World Series trophies.
Note: Admission is free, but you’ll need to RSVP for tickets in advance!
Petal Power: 80,000 Free Tulips
Circle March 21 on your calendar for Tulip Day at Union Square. Imagine 80,000 free tulips waiting for you to pick them and create your own bouquet. It’s the ultimate Instagram moment and the perfect way to brighten up your apartment for the new season.
Pro tip: They’re totally free, but the line can get long—bring a tote bag and a little patience!
Catch the Tech Wave
With GDC (Game Developers Conference) and RSA in town, the city’s energy is electric this month. Even if you’re not in the industry, it’s the best time for networking (or people-watching) at your favorite neighborhood coffee shop. Grab your laptop and head to a cafe in SoMa or Hayes Valley, you never know who you’ll rub elbows with over a morning oat milk latte.
