SF’s “Balboa Block Party” 2026 (Greenwich/Fillmore)

Sunday, October 18, 2026 - 1:00 pm to 7:00 pm | Cost: FREE
Greenwich and Fillmore | Greenwich and Fillmore, San Francisco, CA

Event Details

Balboa Cafe’s Balboa Block Party returns October 18 at Greenwich and Fillmore in San Francisco. The street fundraiser supports the PlumpJack Foundation and is promoted with espressotinis and community gathering.

Since 1913, Balboa Cafe has served as one of San Francisco’s oldest restaurant where it all started as a working-man’s saloon. Now it’s a cherished neighborhood establishment where people from all corners of the Bay Area and beyond come for community and our beloved classics, like the Balboa Burger on a baguette, the Wednesday Chicken Paillard special, and the famed Espressotini. Despite our city’s evolution, Balboa Cafe remains a timeless destination for those seeking a taste of San Francisco’s nostalgia.

We don’t know the exact details for 2026 but we expect it to be similar to 2025. Here’s last year’s details for reference until we have specifics for 2026.
