- Wednesday: SPUR Lunchtime Forum: Artists re-envisioning public space. San Francisco-based artists Rebar, Amy Balkin and Sergio De La Torre discuss their projects for the inaugural Sister City Biennial exhibition Urbanition.

- Saturday: Thinkwalks: Walk the Wiggle! "Before bikes were invented, the popular Wiggle bike route was a foot trail to avoid these same hills. Change the way you see the landscape as we talk about everything from art and bike politics to floods, lakes and native societies." 10 am.
- Sunday: Thinkwalks: Water Walking Tour. Learn about "the waterways that once coursed through the Mission District, their meandering locations and ecology, their implications for the growth of SF, their spring sources and controversial origins." 10 am.
