"Participants gathered beneath The Castro's historic marquee. After an entertaining set by Marks, emcee Sister Roma began the event and explained that the Castro Street Cam, which began in 2017, is an internet-based LGBTQ+ educational service that makes it possible for viewers, located anywhere globally, to virtually visit Castro Street and experience the vibrant neighborhood. Sister Roma introduced Cliff's Variety's Terry Asten Bennett, who used an oversized pair of scissors to clip a bright orange ribbon stretched down the sidewalk under the marquee."
"San Francisco Bay Times team members, including acclaimed musician Kippy Marks who played for guests, welcomed non-profit and other small business leaders, as well as additional community leaders and supporters to a Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony marking the one-night-only soft launch of Cam #5 of the 24/7 livestreaming Castro Street Cam system. The special event was held on October 31, so that the new cam could capture Halloween 2025 in the Castro."
