Pop a Squat in Union Square and Take in Some Cinema!

Summer is upon us.  One of my favorite family-friendly summer experiences is taking in a movie under the stars.  Both locals and travelers alike can enjoy these community-based events.  If you are headed to San Francisco, check out Cheap flights to San Francisco, then grab a blanket, some lawn chairs, and get ready to be swept up in the magic of the movies.
Union Square
Enjoy the heart of the city by day as you visit art galleries, a variety of shops, restaurants, and much more.  On select nights during the summer, you can catch a free flick.
