❤️ San Francisco Hearts Walk and Picnic!

Spend Valentine’s Day enjoying a relaxed city walk, heart-themed public art, great photo ops, and a waterfront picnic — all in warm, friendly company 💗

We’ll gather in Union Square and stroll together at an easy pace down Market Street, then along the Embarcadero, discovering heart sculptures and public art along the way. We’ll wrap up with a picnic lunch by the water, with time to relax, connect, and enjoy the views.
This is a social, unhurried walk — not a tour and not a power walk. Come for the hearts, stay for the people!
