Calendar festival taking place on Saturday. This gathering does more than just entertain; it enlightens. Take a trip into the past at the Rock & Blues Museum to learn how Mississippi blues influenced rock ’n’ roll, visit Robert Johnson’s famed “crossroads,” and get a gander at the Delta Blues Museum’s history of American blues exhibits. After Juke Joint, we guarantee you’ll take a bit of Mississippi home with you. Various prices; jukejointfestival.com San FranciSco APR Exploratorium Expect foggier-thannormal conditions along the shores of San Francisco Bay beginning April 15 and continuing, well, forever.

And that’s just a small preview of the hundreds of interactive experiences that fill the massive space: Remote Rains recreates the frequency, size, and velocity of raindrops from historic storms (umbrella required); Animation Station allows aspiring animators to learn the craft of stop-motion storytelling; and Visible Pinball uses a transparent machine to reveal the mechanical innerworkings of an arcade classic. In all, visitors will be wowed by more than 600 hands-on activities (150 of which are brand-new) throughout the 330,000-squarefoot learning laboratory. In a nod to its new home on the water, the Exploratorium features many Bay-centric displays, including the Algae Chandelier, which filters light through multi-colored sea organisms. Not interactive enough? One station even lets visitors taste the salinity of the Bay’s water. Don’t worry—it’s filtered.

Now in its 12th year, the festival has screened some 1,400 films from more than 80 countries, and it once again promises an ambitious slate in 2013.
