Get Ready for Music, Food, Games and Good Times at Friday Night Market

San Francisco -- The time has come once again for a night of fun and entertainment at the Friday Night Market in the City’s historic United Nations Plaza.

This Friday, August 28, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., UN Plaza will be transformed into a lively party with a full bar, local artists, family-fun activities, music and a tempting selection of food trucks with international offerings. What a great way to start your weekend -- spending it in the heart of San Francisco.

Come join San Francisco Public Works for an evening of fun with your friends, family and co-workers. There will be something for everyone to enjoy. K-pop, chair massages and a tarot card reader are just a few of the activities on tap. Music by DJ Daniels and rock band Stymie and the Pimp Jones Luv Orchestra should get people dancing.

Kids can have their faces painted, get their wiggles out in a jump house and play a game of giant jenga.
