This is a compilation of free things to do in the Bay Area. Some things are always free while others have restrictions, like days, age, student status, or residency. This is mostly teen-friendly events but not necessarily teen-centric. You should be able to sort by #month (mmm/YYYY format, ex apr2011), event type, and location tags. As I add recurring always and sometimes free things, I'll update the always free and sometimes free posts. If you have any you think I should add, please feel free to email me at sfpocketlint at gmail or drop me a link, below. Thanks! And happy visiting! Have an event?
