Featuring Music with the California Honeydrops

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, October 26, but please don’t wear a costume. With Wednesday falling a full 4 days before it’s actually Halloween, that just wouldn’t make any sense!

Instead, please Dress-to-Impress in Black and Gold for our special Not-Quite Halloween Dance Party!

Why Black & Gold? Well, to us, Gold is the color of Honey…and the California Honeydrops will be performing for us that night!

We also have 3 contests in store, with one winner for each contest receiving a free drink at the bar as well as a month of free Cat’s Corner Dance Party Admission. Here’s what’s in store:

• Black & Gold Dress-to-Impress Night & Contest
• Annual Carved Pumpkin Contest (please carve it at home!)
• 1st Ever Pumpkin Pie Bake-off (judge by the Honeydrops, and guests enjoy the leftovers)
• Special Performances

Join your friends from Cat’s Corner and Motion Explosion out at Sunday Streets in the Mission this Sunday, October 23!

Nathan and Michael Terkowski will be DJing from 12-3pm on Valencia Street somewhere between 20th & 23rd streets (exact spot to be determined on the day of the event).

About Sunday Streets

Sunday Streets is a series of events put on by the City of San Francisco to encourage health, community and fun, inspired by similar events in cities throughout the world.  A Sunday Streets event creates a large, temporary, public space by closing off stretches of a neighborhood’s streets to automobile traffic, and opening them to pedestrians, bicyclists, and activities for several hours on a predetermined Sunday.
