2026 Slow Sanchez Block Party!

We hosted our 2026 Spring Block Party on May 16th in partnership with the Friends of Noe Valley Garden Tour.

It was a joy to see neighbors reconnect, kids playing freely in the street, gardens on display, music filling the air, and our community coming together to celebrate one of San Francisco's most special public spaces.

We were also honored to receive a Certificate of Honor from District Supervisor Rafael Mandelman and Senator Scott Wiener recognizing the contributions Friends of Slow Sanchez has made to building community and public space in Noe Valley.

A special thank you to our partners at Friends of Noe Valley for collaborating on this event, the Civic Joy Fund for helping support our efforts, and the many volunteers, neighbors, and community members who made the day possible.

Check out some of our favorite photos from the event here. And we look forward to celebrating with you next year!
