Downtown First Thursdays is San Francisco’s monthly celebration of local culture, food, music, and community—right in the heart of the city. Taking place on the first Thursday of each month, this free outdoor event invites office workers, residents, and visitors alike to step out and experience downtown in a new way.
Enjoy live entertainment, shop from local makers and pop-up vendors, and grab a bite or a drink from some of the city’s best food trucks and small businesses. With rotating performers, special activities, and a lively crowd, every First Thursday feels fresh and fun.
Produced by Into the Streets and Civic Joy Fund, and supported by The East Cut in partnership with Yerba Buena Partnership.
