It’s the 15th year of Sunday Streets in San Francisco! Celebrate Tenderloin style on June 4th for a Community Block Party–from 12-5pm, Golden Gate Ave. between Jones & Hyde will be transformed into a car-free community space featuring fun, free activities provided by local nonprofits, community groups, and small businesses.
Tenderloin Museum will be tabling at the TL Community Block Party sharing neighborhood history, info about upcoming programs, and a “Sounds of the Tenderloin” musical performance by The Four Fives, the brainchild of artists Rasul Grayson and Chris Burch, aka Goya Goon, who’s resplendent 2021 mural “Jupiter Redding, returned, endowed with everything that this world denied them.” looks out over the intersection of Turk and Leavenworth in the heart of the TL. Influenced by inherently Black American genres that emerged when music media was limited to 33, 78, and 45 RPM vinyl playback, ‘The Four Fives’ infuse jazz, blues, soul, and hip hop in a way that re-envisions and redesigns the boundaries of hip-hop through poetry and storytelling, with testimony to the ever-evolving ode to Black radical imagination.
Tenderloin Museum’s Sounds of the Tenderloin public program series animates the neighborhood’s undersung cultural history through live performances that explore, deepen, and complicate participants’ understanding of Tenderloin history while supporting local working musicians and creating accessible cultural activities for the neighborhood residents. Sounds of the TL was seeded by a generous grant from Hardly Strictly Bluegrass and sustained with a Museum Grant from the California Natural Resources Agency.
Sunday Streets is a program of the nonprofit Livable City presented in partnership with the SFMTA, San Francisco Department of Public Health, and the City and County of San Francisco. The San Francisco open streets program features an annual season of events that reclaim car-congested streets for community health, transforming them into car-free spaces for all to enjoy.
