Read in the Park - SF 📚
Grab your book, a blanket, and come read with us in Golden Gate Park 📚
Read in the Park is a laid-back, in-person gathering for people who love books and good company. No agenda, no book club assigned reading, just show up with whatever you're currently reading and spend a couple of hours outside with like-minded people.
Our first event brought together 20+ readers and it was honestly everything. So we're doing it again.
This is what an event usually look like:
What to bring:
→ Your current read - physical book, Kindle, or audiobook
→ A blanket or something to sit on
→ A jacket! SF weather is unpredictable and Golden Gate Park can get windy
→ Snacks if you want
What should I expect?
2:00 PM → Arrive, find a good spot, get settled
2:00–3:00 PM → We read! Settle in, get cozy, enjoy the park
3:00–4:00 PM → Conversations - get to know each other, share what you're reading or listening to, swap book recommendations, and chat about genres you love
4:00 PM → Wrap up, linger, make new friends
Who's invited?
Anyone who loves books, being outside, and meeting good people. Lots of folks came solo to our first event, don't be shy, you'll fit right in!
What about parking?
Golden Gate Park on a Saturday can get busy! We recommend arriving by 1:30–1:45 PM if you're driving. Free street parking is available in the area but spots fill up fast. Public transit is also a great option.
Will this event be photographed?
Photos and short video clips may be taken for promotional purposes. By attending, you consent to being photographed. If you'd prefer not to be in photos, just let us know when you arrive and we'll make sure to respect that! 🙏
