SF’s Union Street Festival 2026 (June 6-7)

Kick off the summer with the 48th anniversary of The Union Street Festival!

The two-day long Union Street Festival brings neighbors, locals, and visitors alike to the Marina District. Come celebrate local business, culture and community at one of the longest running street festivals in San Francisco presented by Sunset Mercantile in partnership with the Union Street Association.

For a full weekend, the charming and walkable Cow Hollow neighborhood gets transformed into an open-air market with live music, dance, food, art, cocktails and mocktails, plus family-friendly games and activities!

Don’t miss out on San Francisco traditions like the iconic Waiter Relay Race, a neighborhood favorite where teams race uphill balancing trays full of drinks for a chance to win exciting prizes.
