Fridays on Front Street will debut for 2026 on July 31, from 4 to 9 pm. The block party will include drinks and food from participating bars on the street, including Harrington’s Bar & Grill, Schroeders, and The Royal Exchange. While details for 2026’s parties have not yet been released, past events have included live music, watch parties to cheer on your favorite Bay Area team, and even lively drinking games. Friday’s on Front Street will also take place in August and October.
The free events are hosted by the Downtown SF Partnership, which works to revive Downtown San Francisco with public events, art, and more. The organization also hosts the popular Pride Month drag shows, Drag Me Downtown, which are returning for 2026.
