June 25 & 26: It’s summer, so we’re deep into festival season, and glad to see another Burger Boogaloo. The Boogaloo is Oakland’s annual garage rock and power pop party, put on by local promoter Marcos Ribak with help from Burger Records, a label out of Fullerton, Calif. (They’re also staging a fifth annual festival down in So Cal.) Burger Boogaloo has again snagged indie filmmaker (and renaissance man) John Waters as host of this celebration of underground music. Former locals Thee Oh Sees are back, along with garage rock pioneers like The Flamin’ Groovies and Psycotic Pineapple, plus the Trashwomen, The Mummies, Shannon and the Clams and more for two days at Oakland’s Mosswood Park. Details are here.

June 25: For a more family friendly festival, check out Fruitvale First! A Latino culture festival at Peralta Hacienda Historical Park in Oakland’s Fruitvale neighborhood, featuring a dance contest, mariachis, tours of the museum, and (of course) great food. Fruitvale First! is also free, so it’s one of our Cheap Thrills, and details are here.
June 25 & 26: It’s the biggest street party of the year in San Francisco. The 46th annual San Francisco Pride celebration and parade take over the city. The theme this year is “For Racial and Economic Justice,” and look for an equal focus on celebrating the lives of those who died in the Orlando dance club shooting. There’s entertainment from Peaches, Psychic TV, Hector Fonseca, CHEER San Francisco, HipHop4Change, plus a Queer Youth Space, Sundance Country-Western Dance Corral, and Tantra Trance if you need a meditative break, not to mention the big parade led by Dykes on Bikes on Sunday. Details on pride weekend are here.
