As the Yerba Buena Neighborhood prepares for what is going to be one of the largest and most watched events in San Francisco from November 11th to the 17th, the City is preparing to support the tens of thousands of visitors that will be arriving. For that, they want to know everything that is going on especially in our part of town!
The Yerba Buena Community Benefit District is seeking help to tell the story of the Yerba Buena neighborhood.
As San Francisco emerges from the pandemic and continues to find new ways to identify itself, so too is the Yerba Buena neighborhood. Because we’re the hub of museums with a strong backbone of Filipino heritage, centered around the bustling core of the Yerba Buena Gardens and the Moscone Convention Center, imagination and culture are our guiding lights. We’re seeking bold new ideas to create a story to radiate all we have to offer.
The YBCBD, in partnership with the Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, Yerba Buena Gardens Conservancy, and the Office of Economic Workforce Development, are producing a monthly Yerba Buena Art & Makers Market in the Yerba Buena Gardens on the first Sunday of the month beginning in April. We’ll have booths filled with prints, ceramics, woodwork, jewelry, and all sorts of handcrafted works by local artists.
District 6 Supervisor Matt Dorsey will be hosting a Public Safety Town Hall at 1127 Market St San Francisco, CA 94103 on Monday, September 18th from 6-8 PM.
District Attorney Brooke Jenkins and City Attorney David Chiu will be in attendance to discuss updates and answer questions in regard to the injunction currently against the City and County of San Francisco. Captain Luke Martin of SFPD will also be in attendance along with representatives from the Department of Public Works and the Department of Emergency to provide updates and answer questions from the audience.
Hidden stories, surprises, and live performances abound in a FREE 90-minute walking tour in downtown San Francisco’s Yerba Buena Neighborhood.
