Target Family Day at downtown museums

Explore four of the city's liveliest museums - the Contemporary Jewish Museum, the Museum of the African Diaspora, Zeum and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art - as they and the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival offer activities, performances and free admission as part of Target's Family Day on Sunday.

On the Esplanade Stage, the Unique Derique and the Destiny Arts Youth Performance Company will be among the many performers, and at Zeum, kids will be able to ride the carousel for free all day long. A huge communal sidewalk mural is planned for the Museum of the African Diaspora, and over at the new Contemporary Jewish Museum, activities will celebrate the Jewish festival of Sukkot.

SFMOMA's Family Day earlier in the year brought in 2,400 visitors, but Sunday's mix of films, hands-on activities and events, inspired by the museum's eye-catching "Brought to Light: Photography and the Invisible, 1840-1900" exhibition, promises to attract even more.
