Bazaar Café’s 25th Anniversary Music Festival (SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

On Saturday, September 16th, Bazaar Café, a locally-owned coffee shop and communal arts space, will host a music festival and fundraiser to celebrate its 25th anniversary. 

Featuring San Francisco’s only all-original open-mic, a regular live music rotation, house-made biscuits, a rotating art gallery, and a lush secret garden, the café is a beloved communal space in the Richmond. But with the challenges of running a small business in San Francisco and recently increased rent, the café is struggling to break even.

As Bazaar celebrates its 25th, it’s asking its community to come together to invest in improvements that will help the café establish a sustainable model for years to come.

The 25th anniversary celebration will feature the following: 

• Over 40 musical performances from café regulars
• Face painting
• Fresh, house-made biscuits
• Temporary tattoos
• A raffle for café apparel and swag

Of reaching the 25th anniversary milestone, owner Josh Johnson said, “Bazaar turning 25 is a celebration of a lot of success and an opportunity for continued evolution. The mission of having arts in San Francisco seems to get harder every year, and this is a milestone the whole community accomplished together. We hope people come out to support the arts.”
