Weekly Recommendation
This week’s recommendation is to check out Alebrijes & Nahuales: Colossal Creatures in Bloom exhibit at Yerba Buena Gardens. These giant sculptures from Mexico are here for a limited time through June 22. They debuted last weekend alongside Yerba Buena Gardens Festival kickoff concert w/ La Santa Cecilia from Los Angeles (great show). These are displayed throughout the park and are free to view during park hours.
