Chestnut Street

Marina Block Party brings a neighborhood street festival feel to Chestnut Street, turning one of the Marina’s busiest corridors into a pedestrian-friendly afternoon of music, food and local culture. The event takes over several blocks with live performances, arts and crafts, games, vendors and offerings from nearby restaurants and bars. The appeal is in the chance to experience a familiar stretch of the neighborhood in a different way, with storefronts spilling onto the street and plenty of reasons to wander without a set agenda. It also supports The Guardsmen’s programs for Bay Area youth, adding a community-focused purpose behind the celebration. For locals, it’s a simple invitation to spend an afternoon outside, discover a few new favorites and enjoy the Marina at a more relaxed pace.
