SF’s Brand New “Valencia Live” Night Market in The Mission: Kickoff (Every 2nd Thu)

Valencia LIVE

San Francisco is set to debut a brand new night market in the Mission District on May 8, 2025. A three-block stretch of Valencia Street, between 16th and 19th streets, will be closed to vehicle traffic from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for Valencia LIVE! The market will take place on the second Thursday of each month, with the aim of continuing for at least two years if successful.

The night market will feature performances from local artists on stages set up by Mission businesses and community groups. One stage, hosted by Blondie’s, a local cocktail bar, will feature live music. Another stage will highlight the neighborhood’s Carnaval traditions, and a parking lot will host a market for indigenous artisans. Local restaurants will set up tents with additional seating to serve food to visitors, while vendors will offer a variety of goods and activities.

On Valencia Street between 16th and 19th Streets—in the American Indian Cultural District—the second Thursday of every month from May to October of 2025 from 5-10pm.
