“MAPP” SF’s Free Art, Poetry & Concert Crawl in The Mission (April 2026)
The Mission District | Mission St. and 20th St., San Francisco, CA
Event Details
“MAPP” SF’s Free Art, Poetry & Concert Crawl in The Mission
The Mission Arts Performance Project (MAPP) sprawls across more than a dozen venues as well as public spaces, secret gardens, street corners, BART stations, cafes, bars, taquerias, and homes all over La Mission typically starting in the afternoon and going until late.
The event features taking common spaces, and for one chaotic evening, transforming them into event spaces for free live music, spoken word, performance art, film screenings, BBQs, garage sales, unorthodox conversations, and happenings.
The event is loosely “organized,” so although there is a schedule, our best advice is to just show up around 7 pm, wander around the Mission, and discover.
