Final Pier Party at Sunset of the season brings DJ D Sharp, TURFinc and The Philharmonik to Fisherman’s Wharf
Free September 26 waterfront celebration sends off the summer series with music, dancing and golden-hour views

23 September 2026 – San Francisco, CA: Fisherman’s Wharf will send off its 2026 Pier Party season this Saturday, September 26, with a free Pier Party at Sunset featuring Golden State Warriors DJ D Sharp, a special performance by TURFinc and a closing set by 2024 NPR Tiny Desk Contest winner The Philharmonik with his Core Four.
Taking place from 5pm to 9pm at the Triangle Lot on Taylor Street, the free golden-hour celebration will bring live music, interactive performance, dancing and waterfront views to the heart of the Wharf. Guests can also explore the neighborhood’s dozens of restaurants, retailers and attractions before and after the show.
“This finale is exactly what Pier Party is all about: extraordinary Bay Area talent, an open dance floor and the simple joy of gathering together on San Francisco’s waterfront,” said Bri Maughan, Executive Director of the Fisherman’s Wharf Community Benefit District. “We have loved seeing neighbors and visitors make the Wharf their summer meeting place, and we invite everyone to help us close the season with one last unforgettable sunset celebration.”
“Fisherman’s Wharf is both a working waterfront and one of San Francisco’s great gathering places,” said Michael Martin, Executive Director of the Port of San Francisco. “Pier Party at Sunset brings those identities together, activating the waterfront with local performers, welcoming public space and the energy of people enjoying the neighborhood. The Port is proud to support events that invite the entire city to experience the Wharf in a new way.”
“District 3 is home to some of San Francisco’s most iconic places, but it is the people, performers and small businesses that give those places their spirit,” said District 3 Supervisor Danny Sauter. “This final Pier Party of the season is a great opportunity for residents to rediscover Fisherman’s Wharf, dance by the Bay and celebrate the local talent that makes our waterfront such a special place.”
DJ D Sharp opens the show from 5pm to 6:30pm. Born and raised in Oakland, he has built an international reputation with a seamless blend of hip-hop, R&B, funk, soul, dance and global sounds. Now entering nearly a decade as the official DJ of the Golden State Warriors, D Sharp brings his signature high-energy style to thousands of fans at Chase Center.

TURFinc returns for a special performance, bringing the artistry and energy of Bay Area street dance to the waterfront before the evening’s headliner takes the stage.
The Philharmonik with his Core Four closes the season from 7:30pm to 9pm. The Sacramento-based multi-instrumentalist, singer, rapper and producer blends soul, funk, hip-hop and R&B. He won the 2024 NPR Tiny Desk Contest, chosen from nearly 7,000 independent submissions for his song “What’s It All Mean?” The Philharmonik delivers a vibrant, high-energy live experience.

The September 26 celebration concludes the fourth season of Pier Party, presented by the Fisherman’s Wharf Community Benefit District on second and fourth Saturdays from June through September.
