Pier Party at the Wharf

Running every 2nd and 4th Saturday from 3-7 PM until the end of September

Get ready to rock, because we're gearing up to make waves this summer with the highly anticipated return of "Pier Party at the Wharf," the celebrated concert series that transforms the heart of San Francisco's iconic Fisherman's Wharf into a vibrant musical hub. Every 2nd and 4th Saturday from June through September, the Fisherman's Wharf Community Benefit District will bring a vibrant musical experience to the Crab Wheel Plaza.

The series will feature different, local musicians each concert, a Pier Party bar serving ready-to-drink premium craft cocktails, plenty of bistro-style seating, dancing, and dozens of retailers and restaurants to explore, all against the breathtaking backdrop of the waterfront and the bustling energy of Jefferson Street.

About The Cires: 

The Cires is an alternative rock and roll band from Hayward, CA. For the Soto brothers — Isaac, Edwin, and Shannon — music has always been a family affair. Now joined by their youngest brother, Cessar, the band grew up playing covers of The Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, and classic Spanish rock and roll. Their latest release, a double single EP titled Endless Dance and Midnight Invitations, showcases their evolving sound. Currently, The Cires are hard at work on a full-length album that will reflect the musical influences of their journey — from their childhood roots to their present-day inspirations. The album is slated for release in late summer 2025 and promises to captivate both longtime followers and new fans alike.
