Partly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 60s are expected for this Saturday, June 3rd—but the cool weather shouldn't stop you from getting out and about this weekend.

If you're looking for something to get you moving, mark your calendar for the Hard French Finale Finale, which will take place at El Rio on Saturday afternoon from 2pm to 8pm. It'll be the final El Rio installment of Hard French—the "outdoor daytime soul music dance party that sets out to modernize, takeover, revamp, trick out, revive, and do up the dance party experience."

From the event organizers:

Our beloved Hard French Family, We'd like to apologize in advance for the the madness that will be your first Saturday in June and also our last Hard French ever on the patio at El Rio. Dang. We did it. 

After 7 magic years of mashed potatoes, warm afternoon boogies, mango margarita headaches, waiting in line to "use the restroom," pico de gallos, everyday people and abundant love, Hard French wants to thank you with one final patio party explosion that even your worst blackout won't soon forget. We are after all "Party People". 

In the words of the great Party Monster James St. James: "It doesn't matter what you look like, I mean if you've got a hunchback put a little glitter on it honey and go dancing."

So far, 384 people are planning to attend, and 917 more have indicated that they're interested in attending the Facebook event. If you'd like to join them, head over to 3158 Mission St. (between Valencia and Cesar Chavez) between 2pm and 8pm on Saturday.

El Rio is accessible by Muni lines 14-Mission, 49-Van Ness/Mission, 27-Bryant, walkable from the J-Church and 24th Street BART station, and, of course, served by the ride-hailing service of your choice.
