We exist to ensure there is a lively and vibrant home for our community of events, businesses, bars and organizations in SOMA.

Twice a year, we hold “Town Halls”, to share information with our community and get feedback.

• Learn what the Cultural District has been doing!
• Hear our plans for the year to come!
• Share your experiences and aspirations for the Cultural District!
• Discuss proposed San Francisco legislation to ban smoking in bar patios.
• Give us feedback.  Your opinions matter to us!
• Become a member and receive our new Cultural District Pin!
• Everyone welcome!
• Free!

Our communities need and deserve safe spaces to gather, shop and play, now more than ever, we intend to keep that alive in San Francisco!

• Our sixth commemorative sidewalk plaque was installed on Thursday, at 1015 Folsom Street.
• This site is home to the eponymous 1015 Folsom and formerly, was the site of Big Town, Sutro Bath House, and Colossus.

• This plaque joins five installed last August and officially unveiled by Supervisor Matt Dorsey during Leather Week.

(l-r) Former District Board Member David Hyman, DPW Project Manager Carol Huang, and SFMTA Public Relations Officer Bobby Lee.

• Many thanks to Carol Huang, Ruby Yu, and the DPW team for making this possible and for their work installing the plaque as part of the ongoing Folsom Streetscape project.
