SF Bay Area Events: May 25–26

19 events across Memorial Day Monday and Tuesday May 26. Monday: four cultural anchors (Presidio ceremony, GGP Whale's Tail, national parks free entry, Ocean Beach bonfires). Tuesday snaps back with 15 events, 11 inside SF proper, heavy AI-agents-in-production theme.

The tech calendar takes a full day off for Memorial Day. Monday is parks, ceremonies, and bonfires — no lu.ma invites, no panels, no founder dinners. If you want to be outside, the city cooperates. Tuesday corrects course quickly: 11 SF-proper events stack between 5 and 9 PM, almost all orbiting the same question — how do you actually ship AI agents into production?
Coverage: tonight (Monday, May 25, Memorial Day) and tomorrow (Tuesday, May 26).

Tonight — Monday, May 25 (Memorial Day)

Zero tech events on the calendar. The anchors below were confirmed in the May 24 research pass; a tool outage prevented re-verification today. National memorial ceremonies and outdoor parks events rarely cancel on the day-of, but verify before you go.
