So proud of Sunset Dunes and the Sunset Community Band — the perfect combo for creating joy at today’s first-ever PloverFest celebration of nature, music, and life in San Francisco. Congrats to one year of Sunset Dunes! Here’s to many more at our wonderful coastal park.

SF Politics 101: An entertaining look at how local politics work and the history that shaped San Francisco — brought to life with visuals and narrative storytelling. April 30 6pm Manny’s Valencia and 16th Street RSVP: luma.com/wyrpyd0v 1/3

I’ve always been a dog person and first played the coronet in 6th grade. It was so much fun to combine a love of dogs and music at the San Francisco SPCA block party. The Sunset Community Band represented!

A phone for all who grieve: When two San Francisco artists both lost siblings in the same year, they created a seaside “wind phone” at Sunset Dunes to process their grief. “I just wanted to make another phone call to my brother,” Jamae says. “It’s powerful to make grief more visible, less lonely."

A fun video to go with this post!

The perfect San Francisco combo: Sunset Community Band performing at the Outer Sunset Farmer’s Market. This is how we create our best San Francisco! Thank you to all the community partners who make it happen.

It’s always a good night for the Sunset Night Market. I’m so glad it’s back! This is how we create our best San Francisco. Thank you community partners Sunset Mercantile, Wah Mei, Asian Inc, and Into the Streets.

What I love most about the Sunset Community Band is that members experience as much joy as they give. They used to play in a high school or college band. But life happened. Their instruments sat in the closet gathering dust. Now, audiences benefit from the reconnection with their musical passion.

There’s something for everyone at Sunset Dunes in San Francisco. First part of this video on Sunday. Second part on Monday. Note: those picnic tables being used on Monday couldn’t exist in a weekend-only park.
