Market Street Prototyping Festival
Market Street runs through the heart of our beautiful city, yet it can feel uninviting and disconnected. The Market Street Prototyping Festival aims to bring together people from different neighborhoods and backgrounds for three days of temporary installations ranging from performances spaces, relaxation zones, dynamic art pieces, and more.

After a creative open call, 50 idea submissions were chosen to create rough models, or “prototypes” that demonstrate how their idea would work. Come and walk the festival route, check out the installations, and tell us what you think. A selection of these designs will then move from prototype to reality, as part of the city’s Better Market Street initiative.
The city’s Better Market Street project breaks Market down into five Districts – Civic Center, Central Market, Retail Heart, Financial District and Embarcadero. For the festival, each of these districts will have a Design Captain and a Community Cohort to guide project teams through their work.
The festival is organized by the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, the San Francisco Planning Department, and the James L. Knight Foundation.
