Stretching between Market and Beaver, the block once again transformed into an open-air mart where local LGBTQ+ artisans and allies displayed everything from hand-poured candles to vivid pop-art prints. The \u201ccream\u201d and \u201cqueens\u201d of the day came via an Imperial Cream Pie Contest and Drag Show with Puck Duo, Nikita Vega, and Blue Bailey.<\/p>\n<p>A live DJ set allowed the queens and the \u201cchaos\u201d to take total control, turning the main stage into a vibrant runway. By the time the sun began to dip over the Castro, the event had once again proven why this monthly ritual remains a cornerstone of community, art, and unapologetic self-expression.<\/p>\n<p>The next two Castro Art Marts will take place on August 2 and October 4. <a href=\"https:\/\/artyhood.org\/events\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/artyhood.org\/events\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-196.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55857\" width=\"573\" height=\"495\"   \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-199.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"55860\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-199.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sfbaytimes.com\/?attachment_id=55860\" class=\"wp-image-55860\"   \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-204.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"55865\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-204.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sfbaytimes.com\/?attachment_id=55865\" class=\"wp-image-55865\"   \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-198.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55859\"   \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-200.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"55861\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-200.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sfbaytimes.com\/?attachment_id=55861\" class=\"wp-image-55861\"   \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-202.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"55863\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-202.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sfbaytimes.com\/?attachment_id=55863\" class=\"wp-image-55863\"   \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-205.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-55866\"   \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-203.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"55864\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-203.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sfbaytimes.com\/?attachment_id=55864\" class=\"wp-image-55864\"   \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-201.png\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"55862\" data-full-url=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/image-201.png\" data-link=\"https:\/\/sfbaytimes.com\/?attachment_id=55862\" class=\"wp-image-55862\"   \/><\/p>\n<p>Published on July 30, 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"On July 5, 2026, Noe Street exploded into a brilliant spectrum of color and sound for the Castro&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":417415,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[101,103,102,104,106,105],"class_list":["post-417414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco","tag-san-francisco-headlines","tag-san-francisco-news","tag-sf","tag-sf-headlines","tag-sf-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417414","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=417414"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/417414\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/417415"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=417414"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=417414"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=417414"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
