Once again it's the weekend and once again we've selected the top events taking place across the Bay and in the virtual world. There's a legendary jazz performance, a couple of film festivals you're not going to want to miss, and several in-person markets for those looking to shop locally. On to the weekend!

Where will BART take you this weekend? Will it be to the reopened Children's Fairyland in Oakland, to San Francisco to pick up a Chinese treat usually reserved only for royalty, or to San Francisco's only independent, non-profit, farmer-operated farmer's market? Wherever it may be, or if you wish to stay home, have a happy weekend!

This week, we have exciting news to share — both the Asian Art Museum and SFMOMA have reopened! Tickets are limited and reservations are recommended, so if you've been itching to experience in-person art again, act fast. If you're not quite ready to venture out, we have lots of good virtual options too.

This weekend the weather is forecast to be cool and may bring some rain to our days. If virtual is the way the go because of that, we’ve got you covered. If getting outside is still in the cards, try heading to a farmer’s market or hit one of the restaurants re-opening with limited capacity from the lifting of tiers in some Bay Area counties. Whatever card you pick, may it be an ace of a weekend!
