You may have heard a little something about a big game in the region this weekend. The Super Bowl is back, and whether you’re in it for the love of the game or love of the game day snack spread, we can help you gear up for the busy weekend ahead.
Many Silicon Valley bars and restaurants are hosting watch parties with special add-ons like buffets, drink specials, after parties with DJs and more. Cities and local organizations are also getting in on the football festivities, planning everything from a chili tasting to downtown gatherings.
And the big game brings with it big-name events, like Guy Fieri’s Big Game Sunday Tailgate and a Sheila E. benefit concert hosted by 49ers legend Ronnie Lott. Check out our guide to score details on Super Bowl watch parties, special events and discounts.
