San Francisco’s vibrant North Beach neighborhood is gearing up for a spectacular start to summer with the 71st Annual North Beach Festival, opening earlier than usual this year on Father’s Day weekend, June 14-15, 2025! Known as one of the country’s original outdoor festivals, this iconic event transforms the historic “Little Italy” into a lively celebration of art, music, food, and community. Whether you’re a tourist exploring San Francisco or a local soaking up the neighborhood’s charm, the festival is the perfect way to spend your day—and Condor Club, right in the heart of North Beach, is the ultimate spot to keep the party going into the night.

 

 

A Festival That Captures the Spirit of North Beach

The North Beach Festival, running from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day, spans 11 blocks along Grant Avenue, Columbus Avenue, and surrounding streets, offering something for everyone. Expect over 200 vendors showcasing local art, crafts, jewelry, and vintage fashion, alongside mouthwatering cuisine from North Beach’s world-renowned restaurants and Bay Area food trucks. Sip on local brews at one of four beer gardens, enjoy live music and poetry on five stages, or watch interactive art demos that bring the neighborhood’s creative spirit to life. Families can delight in kid-friendly activities like chalk art zones and games, while pet lovers can join the cherished Blessing of the Animals ceremony at 1 p.m. daily .

This year’s early opening on Father’s Day weekend makes it an ideal opportunity to celebrate with dad or gather friends for a memorable weekend in San Francisco’s cultural hub. The festival’s expanded footprint, now including Stockton Street from Filbert to Union, means even more to explore in this historic neighborhood known for its Italian heritage, Beat Generation roots, and iconic landmarks like Coit Tower and City Lights Bookstore.
