Bhangra & Beats

About this event

BHANGRA & BEATS IS BACK FOR 2026! San Francisco’s biggest South Asian cultural celebration brings its “Bhangra meets Bay Area energy” to one of downtown’s most iconic arts destinations for the first time—landing at Yerba Buena Gardens. Happening on two Fridays—July 24 and November 13 (Diwali edition)—from 4pm–9pm, this FREE event will transform Yerba Buena Gardens, Jessie Square, and Yerba Buena Lane into a vibrant festival of music, dance, food, and culture. At the heart of the celebration is its signature atmosphere: a family-friendly Indian rave where traditional Punjabi rhythms meet Bay Area nightlife energy. Non Stop Bhangra collective will once again lead the celebration with its trademark mix of cultural performances, interactive dance lessons, live drumming, DJs, and open dance floors—alongside a lively outdoor marketplace of food, retail, and local vendors, plus restaurant and bar specials and family-friendly activities.
