Downtown San Rafael’s Second Fridays
adds Cultural Spice to Summer Night with “Latin
Flavors on Fourth Street”
Live Music,
Dancing, Street Food, Dining Specials and Stores Open until 9 pm!
Downtown San Rafael will come alive with Latin music, free salsa dance lessons, street food, dining and shopping during the inaugural “Second Fridays Downtown” on August 9, from 5:30 – 9 pm.
Produced by the Downtown San Rafael Business Improvement District (BID), Second Fridays Downtown builds upon Art Works Downtown’s successful Second
Friday’s Art Walk adding district-wide entertainment, dining specials,
street food and sidewalk sales for an evening of fun.
Along with downtown merchants staying open late, live musical
entertainment will be presented in outdoor venues along Fourth Street. In the
City Plaza, festivities will start off after 6 pm with a Zumba demo class, followed by Latin Jazz /Cuban combo Alta All Stars and free salsa dance lessons by Dance Arts Studio. Best of Brazilian Skewers Food Truck and live music between D and E will connect the center
to the West End, where diners can enjoy sangria and the music of Jose Neto at Whipper Snapper, plus Ritmo 6 -- playing Charangas on the street. Even Lotus Café has caught the vibe, promising free samples and hosting Latin music on the patio. The West End’s new Johnny Donuts
will tend to sweet cravings, while Off-the-Grid’s food trucks will add to the West End’s Latin food offerings. From central downtown to the West End Village, there will be something to suit every taste.
