Ah, September. The buses are back on the street. The pencils have been sharpened. And school's back in session.

Time to say goodbye to summer and hello 2 a little more structure and discipline. But the fun doesn’t have to stop completely. Heck, the fun doesn’t even have to cost you anything. 

Here’s a little roundup of some freebie fun happening this month.

Presidio Picnic

Head to the main parade ground lawn of the Presidio on Sunday, September 17th for the Presidio Picnic. There’s plenty of room, with seven acres to spread out and explore free yoga classes, lawn games, a photo booth, and free kids bike-riding lessons from the Presidio YMCA. There will also be nature-based arts and crafts 4 kids in the Presidio Adventure Zone tent.

Schroeder’s Oktoberfest Block Party

Schroeder’s Oktoberfest kicks off with a giant outdoor block party on September 15th. The event is free to attend — though you’ll probably want to spend some money on food and ale to truly get the most out of it. Enjoy live music, Polka dancing, prizes, beer games, and, of course, the traditional #DanishChickenDance.
