The Super Bowl is coming to the Bay Area, but let’s be honest — you’re really here for Bad Bunny.
Once the 49ers were out of the playoffs, a lot of San Franciscans tuned out of Super Bowl madness. But we are still very excited for Benito’s 13-minute performance. The city has a week’s worth of tribute parties, lookalike contests, and watch parties devoted to Bad Bunny.
From DNA Lounge warmups to lucha libre matches, the Bay Area’s Bad Bunny fever has reached peak delirium. Whether you’re dropping $100 to look like him, or just need somewhere to scream “¡UN VERANO SIN TI!” with 200 strangers, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s every way to celebrate Bad Bunny during Super Bowl week — because who needs $5,000 tickets when you can party with an impersonator named Abdul Bunny?
