Ahead of the annual Juneteenth Freedom Celebration in the Fillmore next weekend, join San Francisco’s first city parade honoring the holiday this Saturday. Floats, live music and more will carry the joyous celebration of Black culture, art and creativity through Downtown from the Ferry Plaza to Civic Center.
Starting just a couple hours earlier at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market, Pop-Ups on the Plaza, organized by Foodwise and MegaBlack SF, is hosting Juneteenth on the Waterfront, a food and makers market highlighting local Black-owned businesses. After picking out ripe produce for the week, take your time exploring the vendors’ plethora of specialty foods and goodies.

Seven participating venues will take over five blocks of SoMa, the city’s Filipino heritage district, on Saturday for this year’s Be Free Festival to celebrate the city’s vibrant Filipino culture.

This Saturday afternoon, Porchfest returns to San Francisco, transforming the Mission into a neighborhood-wide celebration of local music across all genres and for all ages. Porches and parklets will be the “stages” of this free music festival, so take a stroll and let your ears guide you from one stoop show to the next. We recommend starting around 21st and Valencia streets and heading down 21st towards Mission St., but you can scope out your ideal route on the event’s map.

Over 250 vendors are scheduled to show off their wares at the two-day event.

If the first Thursday of the month is a bit tough for you to swing to take advantage of SFMOMA’s free admission options, perhaps this Sunday is your chance. The museum will be putting on a free day for families. So although admission is always free for guests up to 18 years old, now up to four adults accompanying a child or teen can get in cost-free, as well. To add to the occasion, SFMOMA will have a schedule of family-friendly art-making activities and entertainment.
