The Commons Block Party

SF Civic Center, UN Plaza, and Fulton Street present their third-Thursday iteration of The Commons Block Party. Curated by Bay Area music and culture champion, Noise Pop, this FREE family-friendly event will feature three stages of live music, a food truck marketplace, and entertainment from various local businesses and organizations.

Join us for our Outdoor Art Gallery by Tenderloin Museum, a boutique collection of works for sale from past and future Tenderloin Museum artists such as photographers J.B. Higgins, Darwin Bell, and Marissa Patrice Leitman, and painter Ira Watkins. Jazz music will be performed by former Tenderloin Museum collaborator and Tenderloin youth advocate, Tomas Jay.
