Join us for Mission Vibrant Second Saturdays in The Mission!

If you sign up on our RSVP list on Eventbrite, we will be sending you discounts and coupons that you can use on Saturday in one or more of the participating businesses ;)

WHAT IS THIS ABOUT?

This is a curated art walk brought to you by the amazing and diverse small businesses on our corridor.

You will be enjoying exhibitions or artist talks in art galleries as well as alternative art spaces. Coffee pop up, mural tour, interactive workshops, bowling and more all in one day in one neighborhood!

Below you can find fun events at select entertainment and performance venues if you feel the fire to continue into the night!

This is a self-guided walk, so feel free to hop in and off the corridor on your own timeline and pace while visiting the participating businesses on our curated list.
