The standing schedule — what the neighborhood runs week after week, all year.
September 26 plus October 2026 · Verified from each venue's own listings · Front page · Music · Comedy · Festival map · October calendar · Channels · Database

The festival is not only the dated bills. Below it runs a slower calendar: the standing series, the weekly rituals, the nights that happen whether or not anyone posts them. This page holds that slower calendar — the neighborhood's year-round shape, day by day of the week.

Series verified from each room's own listings as of September 26, 2026. Schedules change; each room's own page remains the source of truth. One-off events live in the October calendar and the festival map.

The Nightly Engines

Two rooms run live music nearly every night of the year, and carry the week's quiet hours.

The Saloon 1232 Grant Ave

The Saloon
Live blues nightly, two sets: 4–8 PM and 9:30 PM–1:30 AM. The oldest bar in San Francisco, and the most reliable music in the neighborhood.

Comstock Saloon 155 Columbus Ave

Comstock Saloon
Live jazz nightly, 8–11 PM, in a 1907 backbar room.

How this stays true

The dated bills are the fast calendar — collected month by month by the daily relay run, verified against each room's own listings. The standing series on this page are the slow calendar: re-checked whenever a room changes its pattern, and hedged here until it is. A series marked below with a hedge line is posted but not yet seen twice.

The full pipeline: the festival map (pick any night, the rooms light up), the October calendar with every dated event, the enriched database with performer profiles, and the North Beach Neighborhood Calendar on Google Calendar, built from the same verified events.
