ILTW: Grand Finale

Join us for the I Love Tenderloin Week Grand Finale, a free community event honoring the neighborhood’s vibrant culture, history, and resilience. ILTW is a city-supported initiative coordinated by local organizations to bring neighbors, artists, and visitors together.

 

Originally a luxurious beauty parlor called “Blanco’s,” the venue once catered to San Francisco’s elite, back when the Tenderloin was the place to party. Today, it’s your favorite historic music hall. On June 21st  we’re celebrating its roots in a big way.

 

We’ve curated a special lineup that celebrates the magic of the Tenderloin and beyond:


🎻 SF Symphony
🎸 Blue Bear School of Music’s Rock n Roll Chorus
🎭 SF Recovery Theater
🎧 Discomovil Salazar
🎶 DJmaDRE

🗣️ Opening remarks by Supervisor Bilal Mahmood
🎤 Hosted by: Broke-Ass Stuart

When: Saturday, June 21, 2025 | Doors Open: 5 PM | Show Starts at 6 PM

Where: The Great American Music Hall | 859 O'Farrell St

✨ Free with RSVP✨ — Suggested donation tickets available to help support artist fees and production costs.
