Tickets for concerts and games for the newly opened Chase Center are going to be hot this season. But for the venue’s opening weekend, everyone is invited — at least to see it from the outside.

During the Chase Block Party on Saturday, Sept. 7, fans will get a chance to check out the state-of-the-art arena and new home for the Golden State Warriors, which features 87 commissioned art pieces like the outdoor sculpture “Seeing spheres” by famed Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson, and its surrounding community space dubbed Thrive City.

The free community event comes right after the venue’s first concert, the special collaboration between Metallica and the San Francisco Symphony scheduled for Friday, Sept. 6. Other artists set to headline the Chase Center this fall include the Dave Matthews Band, Phil Collins and the Black Keys.

Outside the arena, the block party plans to broadcast the U.S. Open Women’s Singles finals on its jumbo screens and host games for all ages. There will also be food and drink for purchase from the arena’s vendors, including Alicia’s Tamales Los Mayas, Hot Dog Bills and Sadie’s Deli.

Some Golden State Warriors players are expected to make an appearance too, officials said.

Free hats will be given to the first 250 attendees, and a Serena Williams tote bag will be given to those who donate to Golden Gate Park.

Co-created by the Golden State Warriors and Kaiser Permanente, Thrive City plans to host similar events for the community year-round, from farmers’ markets to festivals, in Mission Bay.

Chase Block Party: Noon-4 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 7. Free. Chase Center and Thrive City, 1 Warriors Way and Third Street, S.F. www.chasecenter.com
