Pétanque is a French game similar to lawn bowling or bocce ball. It is a form of boules where the goal is to toss or roll hollow steel balls as close as possible to a small wooden ball called a "cochonnet" or "jack", while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground. Join us from 11 am to 4 pm to learn the game and partake in tournaments organized by the SF Club. This event is fully supported by Decathlon.

A Waiters' Race, or "course de serveuses et GARÇONS de CAFÉ", is a race that tests the speed at which a waiter can carry a loaded tray without tipping any of its contents. This race has been going on in France since the 1930's. The first of its kind in San Francisco and sponsored by Decathlon, the race will start at 3:00 pm. It is a fun community event, with a competitive edge.
