MINTED SF is San Francisco’s new Friday night Happy Hour experience – a free, all-ages celebration of music, food, and community lighting up Downtown San Francisco’s historic Mint Plaza all Summer long. From July 4 to September 19, 2025, the Bay Area’s top DJs and music culture makers are partnering with local restaurants to transform the plaza into a vibrant open-air dance floor and culinary hotspot.
Presented by Make It Mariko and powered by the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) and Mayor Daniel Lurie, MINTED SF is on a mission to re-energize downtown, support small businesses, and showcase the creative heartbeat of The City.
Each event is a tribute to the sounds, flavors, and spirit that make San Francisco unique.
Come for the beats, stay for the community.

Soulovely is a groundbreaking monthly cultural affair stewarded by Aïma the Dreamer, Lady Ryan, and Emancipation, remarkable cultural practitioners of African descent. Since our inception in 2011, Soulovely has curated an extraordinary platform that celebrates and sustains the unwavering spirit and beauty of Oakland’s queer and trans-BIPOC communities. For 14 seasons, Soulovely has solidified its place as a cultural anchor within Oakland’s vibrant queer and trans communities, showcasing over 300 phenomenal WOC and QTBIPOC DJs and live performers.
Within Soulovely’s nurturing embrace, music becomes a soul-stirring force, surrendering to the rhythm in an outpouring of love and support. From house to neo-soul, old-school hip hop to salsa, and afrobeat, we embrace the soulful umbrella that ignites spirits and moves bodies. Rest assured, we steadfastly uphold our commitment to excluding any music that degrades women/femmes or perpetuates homophobia or transphobia.
