SF Downtown First Thursdays returns for round two
A popular San Francisco block party returns tonight for a much anticipated encore. Last month, 20,000 people turned out for the debut of Downtown First Thursdays in San Francisco's SOMA neighborhood; featuring a live DJ set by Aluna, an outdoor art gallery and food vendors filling 2nd Street between Market and Folsom. It's all part of an effort to breathe life back into parts of the city still struggling to recover from the pandemic and tonight the June block party kicks off with an emphasis on Pride. KTVU's Alex Savidge speaks with Manny Yekutiel, co-founder of the Civic Joy Fund, the organization funding and co-presenting Downtown First Thursdays, about what we can expect tonight.
