Friday, October 16: Carly + Logan bring a dance-floor-friendly mix to The Riptide—glittering disco, electro, funky R&B, and ’80s/’90s Hi-NRG with a few choice curveballs along the way.

Think Giorgio Moroder’s pulse, Daft Punk’s groove, Jamiroquai’s funk, Parliament’s Flash Light, LCD Soundsystem, Phoenix, and plenty more after dark. Come early, stay late, and groove with us.

We’re still absolutely floating after our sister venue, Amado’s, took part in the final Valencia Live 2026 event last Thursday providing thirsty attendees with beverages to keep the party going! This video doesn’t do the event justice, but conveys a bit of what it was like for an incredible event!

Many thanks to those who made this happen, including Valencia Corridor SF, Into The Streets, Civic Joy Fund and Carnaval San Francisco! We are grateful for helping build our community on the Valencia Corridor!

This Sunday, The Rounder Circle brings a lively mix of Bluegrass and Americana to The Riptide. Rooted in traditional string-band sounds and stretching into country, Western swing, original songs, and more, this Bay Area four-piece is all about tight harmonies, fast-moving instrumentals, and a good time.
Come spend your Sunday night by the beach with us.
