About this Event

BALLHALLA IS TAKING OVER DOWNTOWN SF! 🏀💜

Kick off your weekend on Friday, August 21st, from 4:00 PM – 9:00 PM as Fridays on Front Street returns for its second block party of 2026.

Hosted by the Downtown SF Partnership in collaboration with Noise Pop Industries, we’re bringing back last year's fan-favorite Golden State Valkyries Watch Party.

Catch the Valkyries vs. Chicago Sky live on our outdoor big screen (tip-off at 4:30 PM PT), game-day beats by official WNBA Valkyries DJ, DJ LadyRyan, and post-game performances by Oakland powerhouses AroMa and King Isis.

FRONT ST STAGE LINEUP

– From holding court as the official DJ for the Golden State Valkyries to lighting up local nightlife, DJ LadyRyan blends deep musical intuition with unmatched genre-spanning beats.

– Channeling the spirit of icons like Grace Jones and Nina Simone, Oakland’s AroMA creates an eclectic, genre-defying mix of alt-rock, soul, and new wave delivered through raw, melodramatic live performances.

– An Oakland-born voice for the misfits and weirdos, King Isis fuses rock, pop, and alternative R&B into a raw, genre-defying sound rooted in generations of musical heritage.
