We had so much fun at Cole Valley Nights on August 20th and want to thank everyone who came out and made this one of our favorite events! Organizations like City Grazing (City Grazing ) and Just Like Alice (Just Like Alice ) helped bring the classic State Fair feel to this adorable community. There was balloon art, goats, music, circus acts, carnival games, and of course, delicious treats from Fredrick to Parnassus.

Our pie baking competition was a huge success, and congrats to the winners of both the sweet and savory categories. We love seeing everyone’s skills and creativity on edible display. As always, thanks to the amazing vendors and the businesses in Cole Valley for being part of our events.

Next month, the Cole Valley Fair arrives on September 27th for a whole day of even more fun! Stay tuned for details and the full program coming soon.

Thanks to all our sponsors for supporting free, accessible events in San Francisco. Cole Valley Night is presented by the Cole Valley Merchants Association in collaboration with Sunset Mercantile and Civic Joy Fund.

We’ve got another Sunset Night Market coming up in September and before we get around to celebrating the Mid-Autumn Moon Festival with moon cakes and gratitude, we’d like to spotlight more of the amazing local businesses that serve this community.

The 22nd and Irving Market has been the neighborhood grocery store since 1971. This spacious storefront offers tons of fresh fruits and veggies, specialty items, and pantry staples at affordable prices. They have local items made in the Bay Area plus favorites for the health-conscious and snack-loving. Whatever is needed, this market has it. No wonder they’ve been a beloved community spot for over 50 years!

Peruse their outdoor produce bins or check out their stocked and varied shelves inside. Visit both their locations (7th and Clement Market at 538 Clement Street) for daily specials, friendly faces, and so much more!

Jerry Day was a huge success and we were so thrilled to be part of it! What started as a modest event has evolved into a huge celebration of music, San Francisco history, community pride, and all the talent the Bay Area has nurtured.

People from all over the city came to join the fun. Jerry Night after-parties in the local venues in the Excelsior kept the good times going and brought the crowds to the neighborhood where Jerry grew up. Dogfish Head Brewing made a special beer just for the occassion too! For anyone who’s not ready for Jerry Day (or Night) to be done, check out Jerry Week happening at the Great American Music Hall happening until the 8th. Plus, more events from now into the fall.

Thanks to everyone who came by our Fun Zone and made our day extra special. We loved seeing all the art and creativity from kids and adults alike. It was truly in the spirit of Jerry Day for all ages to dive into activities, games, and bubbles!

Jerry Day is presented by Friends of the Jerry Garcia Amphitheater with the generous support of Avenue Greenlight and Grants for the Arts. Jerry Day trailer footage provided by Tom Murphy.
