Broad Oct. 2–8 Bay Area Event Calendar Emerges

Upcoming leads now span a Santa Clara parade, Oktoberfest events, a Little Italy festival, a pumpkin patch, a Vallejo hike, and additional family and active options through Oct. 3, including a children's bike class, Central Avenue block party, Lake Merritt Loop group ride, and outdoor ribbon-cutting rides. These are useful in-person possibilities, but individual logistics and current status require verification; a Sebastopol roundup is mostly weekday-oriented and less useful for the weekend guide.
