Looking for a few events going on this week in the Castro? Look no further. 

Tomorrow night at Dog Eared Books, Pansy Division's guitarist Jon Ginoli will be performing a solo acoustic set to promote the band's new album Quite Contrary, which was released last week.

Head on over to the Lookout on Friday to help celebrate the bar's 9th anniversary. Since opening, the bar has raised over $900,000 for the community. There'll be a free happy hour buffet on offer, along with drink specials all day to help celebrate.

This Saturday and Sunday, the Castro Theatre will become Rydell High for the Grease Sing-Along extravaganza. Throw on your Pink Ladies or leather T-Birds jacket and sing along to your favorite Grease hits, from "You're the One That I Want" to "Summer Nights."

Speaking of leather, kick off San Francisco Leather Week on Sunday at Jane Warner Plaza with LeatherWalk 2016. Now in its 25th year, the event includes stops at a variety of bars and businesses along the walk, culminating in the raising of the Leather Pride Flag at SF Eagle.

On Monday, Supervisor David Campos, Lila Thrikield and others will be gathering at the former location of The Lexington Club for the unveiling of a commemorative plaque honoring the iconic lesbian bar.

Here's the full lineup of events around the Castro this week. Check out many more events from around the city at hoodline.com/events—and to see your event featured in an upcoming events roundup, submit it here.
