Sunday Streets

A huge Mission block party with yoga, free bike rentals, and roller discos
By - posted 4/13/2013 No Comment

Sunday Streets (March – October 2013) is San Francisco’s official block party – a sorta-monthly roving neighborhood celebration and five hour street party where the streets are closed to vehicles so pedestrians, roller skaters, bicyclists, yoga classes… everyone except for cars can take over the streets for an afternoon.

>> Funcheap is proud to be a sponsor and an official partner of Sunday Streets.

What happens at Sunday Streets?
Every month is a completely different party, but throughout the 2013 season you can expect activities like treasure hunts, dance performances, hula hooping, dodgeball games, yoga classes, bubble parties and tons more fun stuff in the city streets all for free.
