Event Details

In celebration of Pride Month, the beloved Castro Night Market returns on Friday, June 20, with its biggest, boldest edition yet—featuring iconic headliners, dazzling performances, and an expanded footprint in the heart of the Castro.
The free event will run from 5 PM to 10 PM at 18th & Castro, now stretching one block further up 18th Street toward Diamond to make room for an evening packed with community, creativity, and fun.
Taking center stage are legendary drag powerhouses Jorgeous, Kylie Sonique, and Willam, along with a special DJ set by the one and only Lady Bunny. Hosting the evening’s festivities is San Francisco drag royalty Sister Roma, bringing heart, humor, and fierce looks to the mic.
This special Pride edition of Castro Night Market will feature:
Three stages of electrifying drag and queer entertainment by SF’s top local talent, 50+ local market vendors, Art, activations, and interactive spaces

Surprise guest appearances, and fun around every corner
“Castro Night Market continues to grow as a celebration of our community’s creativity, resilience, and joy,” said Nate Bourg, President of the Castro Merchants Association.

“For Pride, we’re turning it up louder, queerer, and more fabulous than ever.”

Admission is free and open to the public.
