On the radar in Hayes Valley & Downtown

• Fri Sep 25, 5–8 PM Bollywood Festive Nights takes over Union Square her thing ✓ Union Square, 5 to 8 PM, free: taught dance lessons from 5 to 7, then an open dance party from 7 to 8, run by Rang De Bollywood. Three listings carry the same date and the same two-hour/one-hour split, and all three say walk-ins are welcome — no ticket, no partner requirement. Make it a date: two hours of instruction is a structured way to be bad at something together with a teacher to blame, and if it lands, the Sunset Night Market runs until 10 that same Friday, one N Judah ride west from Powell.
• Sat Sep 19 and Sat Sep 26, 10 AM–2 PM The Hayes Valley farmers' market, every Saturday morning her thing ✓ The 400 block of Hayes St, Saturdays 10 AM to 2 PM, run by PCFMA since June 6 — two instances fall inside this edition's window, Sept 19 and Sept 26, and three sources carry the day and hours. Make it a date: a four-hour window with no ticket makes a 10:30 AM meet the lowest-commitment date on this page — forty minutes and two coffees is a complete outing, and Hayes St is car-free on that block if it goes longer.
