“SOMA Nights” Neighborhood Block Party + Night Market (SF)

Join us for regular monthly art, food and cultural events on Folsom St (Between 6th-12th). Over 20 business participating, pop-up vendors, performances & street activations.

SOMA Nights aims to foster a sense of community by connecting residents and local businesses during the Folsom Streetscape Project which is putting multiple legacy businesses at risk of closing.

  • Hallan Street will be closed to traffic from 5-9p
  • Langton Street will be closed to traffic from 5-9p

Our monthly events encourage collaboration and creativity bringing together local businesses who have operated in SOMA for the past 3 decades who need local support to survive through the major street construction.

The Folsom Street corridor is now one of five new entertainment zones established across the city to boost small business activity through reimagining public spaces with arts, culture, and entertainment

This is an inclusive event for all ages and backgrounds. Walk the folsom corridor and visit any other restaurants, bars, clubs, art galleries, studios paired with street pop up events.

  • Special food, drinks and events start from 5p-9pm between 6th-8th street corridor of Folsom
  • Over 20 small businesses to visit, pop up vendors, live music and drink/food specials
  • Continue the party after 9pm-2am at over 15 clubs on the 9th-12th street corridor of Folsom St.

SOMA Nights Kickoff
SOMA Nights Music Festival – May 22, 2025

The May 22 Music Festival will showcase the next evolution of SOMA Nights. Music City SF has opened its stable of local bands, who will be performing in the streets and in four bars—Driftwood, Deccant, Azucar Lounge, and Enterprise Brewing. On Langton Street, Here & There Records will spin vinyl and keep the dance floor moving until 9 p.m. Meanwhile, the Hallam Street Stage will feature Bayonics, a Mission district band blending reggae and Latin music, followed by Baycoin Beats, a jazz-soul fusion band known for their classy, high-energy sets.

In following months, SOMA Nights will continue its series as a monthly night market—bringing community and culture to the streets every 4th Thursday of the month with continued support from local artists, nonprofits, and small businesses.
