Hike Through The Presidio Before the Blue Angels Airshow (With picnic to follow)

October 10th is the Saturday of Fleet Week, and a great chance to see the air show featuring the United States Navy Blue Angels, the Air Force’s F-16, and Wingsuit Divers, and the Navy Parachute Team. City Steppers looking for a full day of fun can combine these events with one of my favorite San Francisco walks. The Presidio is a wonderful national park, smack dab in the middle of the city. Let's hike around the bluffs and the art, look for vistas and views, find some hills and stairways, and work up an appetite for the picnic to follow WE START WALKING AT 10:00 AM SHARP. We'll meet at the PRESIDIO FIRE STATION across from the Transit Center (restrooms) near the Main Post. Please arrive a few minutes early to check in and use the facilities. SPACE ON THIS WALK IS LIMITED, BUT THE PICNIC THAT FOLLOWS IS OPEN TO EVERYONE. We'll explore the areas around the Parade Ground and the outdoor Goldworthy installations (we may only be able to peek at the indoor one). We'll see the old and new Presidio, from its original boundary to the new Tunnel Tops. This is an easy to moderate walk, with a few small uphills and staircases. Most of the walk is along paths, but we go through some dirt sections and one short make-your-own-path hillside. The walk should take about 2 1/2 hours, depending on how much we dilly-dally. Dogs are always welcome on these walks. Presidio rules require they be on leash. After the walk we end up back at the Main Post just as the airshow begins. Bring a blanket or chair to sit on, and join the festivities. Just in time for lunch! There will be a separate announcement with info about this event. Before the hike, we can drop off our chairs and picnics with Rebecca who will keep an eye on them, so we will be able to enjoy our hike unencumbered. The air show starts at 12:00 Noon, with the Blue Angels flying between 3:00-4:00PM. We should be able to see most of the show from the Main Post Parade Grounds. There's always plenty to do before the big show. http://fleetweeksf.org/events/ GETTING THERE: MUNI Line #43 (Masonic) stops at the Transit Center. The next closest bus is Muni Line #45 (Union) which stops just outside the Presidio at Union and Lyon. Bus #28 (19th Avenue) takes you to Richardson/Lombard, and bus #30 (Stockton) goes to Chestnut and Divisadero just a few blocks from the Lombard Gate. Parking is plentiful, and although free parking can be difficult to find, we'll be early enough that you should be able to get parking at the Main Post for a reasonable fee. Even arriving early, this event will fill up fast. Give yourself plenty of time. The FREE Presidigo Downtown Shuttle arrives at the Main Post around 9:55 AM. his is probably the best option for BART users. EXPECT THIS SHUTTLE TO BE VERY BUSY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE RIDE BACK http://www.presidio.gov/transportation/presidigo/downtown-shuttle-schedule ATTENDANCE POLICY-- This group does not accommodate no-shows or crashers. Don't do it. City Steppers who no-show or late cancel can be removed from the group without warning. ALTHOUGH THIS IS A GREAT HIKE FOR DOGS. THE AIR SHOW CAN BE LOUD AND THE EVENT WILL BE CROWDED.

Discover SF -- Italian Heritage Parade & Fleet Week Fest

* Have you thought of walking with the **Italian heritage parade** all the way from **Fisherman wharf** to **North Beach**? * * Have you thought of observing the **Blue Angels** flying over the bay from the green hilltop of Coit tower? * * Have you thought of descending onto the Pier 27 **Fleet Fest** through the famous steep **Greenwich Steps**, which we only ascended the last part of it in the North Beach Festival? Here is our **signature** multi stop, **civic and natural landmarks walk** through the city, a full half day's Itinerary. One Sunday, two celebrations. The 158th Italian Heritage Parade, the oldest in the U.S., marches through North Beach while the Blue Angels fly over the Bay for Fleet Week. We'll walk the parade together, explore North Beach in small groups, then gather at the foot of Coit Tower to watch the air show. https://sfitalianheritage.org/ https://fleetweeksf.org/ **The plan** ☕ **11:45–12:15: Gather at Buena Vista Cafe** (2765 Hyde St at Beach). Name tags, quick intros, group assignments, and grab a coffee to go. 🚶 **12:15: Walk to the start line** at Jefferson & Powell, about 10 minutes along the waterfront. 🎺 **12:30: Step-off.** We walk with the parade down Columbus Ave through North Beach, past bands, floats, Queen Isabella's court, and restaurants seating people at the curb. ⛪ **\~1:45: Washington Square.** The parade ends in front of Saints Peter and Paul Church, next to the Concorso Italiano car show and the church's annual Bazaar. 👥 **Small groups.** We split into groups of 5–8, each with a TownFlame captain. Your group chooses its own hour: the Bazaar, the car show, espresso on Columbus, a slice of pizza, or City Lights bookstore. ✈️ **\~2:45: Final gathering at Pioneer Park,** the lawn at the foot of Coit Tower. We watch the Blue Angels close out the air show over the Bay. ⚓ **\~4:00: Optional tail.** Walk down the Filbert Steps, through the hillside gardens, to **Fleet Fest at Pier 27** for military bands, food trucks, and a waterfront finish. It's open until 5. **🙋 Active Participation roles open** * **Culture Guide.** You have Italian or Italian-American roots, or you know the traditions. Share stories about the parade, the food, and North Beach history. * **Locality Guide.** You know North Beach, Telegraph Hill, or the waterfront. Point out what's worth seeing and help your group choose its hour. * **Group Lead.** Shepherd a small group of 5–8 after the split and bring them to Coit Tower. * **Sweep.** Walk at the back so nobody gets lost in the crowds. Reply with the role you'd like, or tell us at staging. Every role is paired, so no one does it alone. **Getting there** Take Caltrain to 4th & King, then Muni. The Powell-Hyde cable car ends a few steps from the café, and the F-line streetcar runs along the Wharf. This is one of the busiest days of the year on the waterfront, so transit is strongly recommended over driving. Please plan your own route and arrive on time. We leave the café at 12:15 sharp. Running late? Wait at Leavenworth & Columbus, one block from the café. The parade passes there on its way into North Beach, and you can join us as we come by. **Good to know** Everything is free: the parade, the air show, and Fleet Fest. The day covers about 2.5 miles, including a climb up Telegraph Hill, so wear good shoes. Bring layers for the waterfront wind and something for sun on the hilltop. Name tags are required at TownFlame events. **After the walk:** if your group clicks, tell your captain. Groups that want to keep going can form a squad and plan their next outing together. **Join [TownFlame](http://www.townflame.org/), Make Life Happen.** **Liability Waiver:** Participation in TownFlame events is voluntary and involves social interaction in public spaces.
