FREE EVENT — RSVP Required (Limited Capacity, First Come First Serve)
closessions is back for our biggest event ever — a free downtown block party celebrating AAPI Heritage Month on Ellis Street in the heart of San Francisco, featuring a special Jai Wolf Club Babu headline set on a 360° stage in the middle of the street, surrounded by all of Ü 💙
we've been hard at work alongside our partners Gold House, DJ Dials, and John's Grill to put this special event together for the culture & for the commÜnity & officially relaunch Third Thursdays On Ellis 🌟
we’ve curated a full AAPI lineup stacked with back to backs and special guests. closessions was founded on the core idea that music brings community together — and for this one we wanted to showcase the diversity across our community. from the first set to the last, this lineup represents so many different backgrounds, sounds, and artistic expression across the AAPI diaspora — and we get to all share that together in the heart of our beautiful city ❤️🔥
a special thank Ü to our sponsors for their generous support — we wouldn't be able to throw a free event of this scale without them 🫶
