This year's Treasure Island Music Festival was a blast. Headliners the National, War on Drugs, FKA Twigs, Run the Jewels and Father John Misty played with gusto, and San Franciscans were out in droves sporting all manner of styles. We wandered around taking in the tunes and snapping photos—here, our best of the weekend.

Gifted to the city by the late great Warren Hellman, the free, three-day music fest Hardly Strictly Bluegrass returned to Golden Gate Park this fall for its 15th year of bluegrass, country and folk music. The weather was beautiful, the crowd was eclectic and friendly, and the stages hosted eye-crossing number of acts including Emmylou Harris & Rodney Crowell, Nick Lowe, Neko Case, Joe Jackson and Robert Earl Keen, to name but a few. We picked our way through the park, listening and snapping away—here are our best shots from the weekend. Enjoy!

Eat Drink SF delighted diner's taste buds this past weekend with more than 30 participating restaurants, plus cocktail classes, cheese and burger caves (yep) and classes and meet and greets with celebrity Bay area chefs. For four days we ate, drank and were very merry, and here are the photos to prove it.

San Francisco, one of the first cities in the country to pass a gay rights ordinance back in the ’70s, has much to be proud of; and every year during SF Pride, the city's drag queens, leather daddies and dykes on bikes all take the opportunity to show off their true rainbow colors. This year's celebration consisted of just under 2 million revelers, and the vibes were especially high following a landmark SCOTUS decision on June 26 that declared same-sex marriage a right in all 50 states. It was a Pride for the ages, and we were there to capture the Parade's best moments.

Noise Pop's 25th anniversary year did not disappoint. More than 160 performers—including Vince Staples, Ty Segall, BadBadNotGood and Deafheaven, plus smaller acts like the Buttertones, Julien Baker, Bobey, Lisa Prank, Daddy Issues, Taco Cat, White Fence and Shannon and the Clams—rocked venues across San Francisco and Oakland over ten days of moving and shaking, and we've got some great photos of the festivities.

2016 was the last year to enjoy the annual arts and music fest on Treasure Island, where it first kicked off in 2007. Rain and wind made for an eventful weekend, with die-hard fans braving the elements to see (most of) the scheduled sets. The Ferris wheel and silent disco were shut down for most of the weekend due to the inclement conditions, but the bands played on and the fest closed out on a high (if wet) note. Check out our best photos from the weekend below.                                                                                     Want more? Sign up here to stay in the know.
