BioPharma Networking Hike: Bernal Heights Park
Traverse Bernal Heights Park for 360° degree views of the city.
After the hike, we will grab snacks/drinks in Bernal and find a picnic table in Holly Park. [A Big Thanks to Kathleen, a fellow hike leader, for the tips on Food options and insight into the area]
Make it a day in SF with these free events:
-- Carnaval Festival (until 6pm) = covers 17 blocks in the Mission District, with five main stages, 50 local performing artists, and 400 vendors. If you have time, I recommend returning on Sunday for the Parade.
