Block Party on Ellis Street Thursday Night Expected to Draw Large Crowd

"Third Thursdays on Ellis, or just "On Ellis," launched first as a pre-Portola block party in September, and the events in October and November, featuring electro DJs Wax Motif and Joel Corry have been pretty lit, as the kids say, with thousands in attendance. The event happens outside the historic John's Grill, and it seems to have caught on with a younger party crowd in a much bigger way than the similar Fridays on Front Street, likely because of the music acts who have been booked and the more rave-y atmosphere."

"The Chronicle noted Wednesday that Third Thursdays on Ellis will feature DJ and producer Wooli at tonight's iteration, and the event already had 16,000 RSVPs as of Wednesday twice as many as there were estimated attendees at the packed October event with Wax Motif. You can RSVP for the free event here, but the app Laylo will then get access to your Spotify data, or you can just show up at 63 Ellis at 5 pm tonight. All 16,000 or so attendees are being asked to bring an unwrapped toy to the show to donate to the SF Fire Department's annual toy drive."

Third Thursdays on Ellis Street began as a pre-Portola block party in September and expanded through October and November with headline electro DJs such as Wax Motif and Joel Corry, drawing thousands. The outdoor event takes place outside John's Grill at 63 Ellis and has attracted a younger, rave-oriented crowd in greater numbers than Fridays on Front Street. The edition tonight features DJ-producer Wooli and reported about 16,000 RSVPs; attendees may RSVP via Laylo (which requests Spotify access) or arrive at 5 pm. Organizers request an unwrapped toy donation for the SF Fire Department toy drive. Food and drinks will be available from John's Grill and multiple vendors; the event runs 5–10 pm and is produced by Non Plus Ultra with support from the Civic Joy Fund.
