Live on Larkin free block party July 2026
The free block party is on Saturday, July 11, on Larkin between Eddy and O’Farrell streets in the Tenderloin. The free block party will feature a battle of the bands contest, accompanied by breakdancing and beatbox battles. If that wasn’t exciting enough, you can also expect lucha libre and fencing during the free street party.
Finally, you can try food from a large selection of local vendors, showcasing the neighborhood’s food scene. Tickets are on sale for the Taste of the Tenderloin to sample food during the festival. A ticket costs only $8.24; however, you do not need one to attend the block party.
