No snow? No problem. When it comes time to celebrate the holidays, San Francisco has a bevy of eccentric, local traditions that ring true to the city's character. Best of all, most of the festivities support small businesses and independent organizations with a great mission. Below are some of our favorite ways to get seasonal, San Francisco-style.
Shake it at the Dance-Along Nutcracker with the San Francisco Lesbian/Gay Freedom Band (Dec. 14-15.)
