If you’re an antique lover, don’t miss the San Francisco Fall Antiques Show at the Festival Pavillion in Fort Mason Center this weekend.  This year’s theme is “Time After Time: Bringing the Past Present.”  The oldest international art and antiques show on the West Coast started yesterday and continues through Sunday.  Sixty dealers from across the country and Europe will offer a wide range of fine and decorative arts.  Show hours for Friday and Saturday are 10:30am to 7pm and from Noon to 5pm on Sunday.

Can’t wait until Halloween?  Start your haunting early at the Scaregrove in Stern Grove today from 3-9pm.  This family-friendly event will feature carnival rides, a haunted house, costume parade, live entertainment, and food for sale.  Or combine antique shopping with Halloween partying at the Treasure Island Flea this weekend.  Click here for more information.
