Each event features fun free active play games, cultural performances, health resources, live music and more with the goal of connecting San Franciscans on car-free open streets. Sunday Streets invites local residents, neighborhood groups, faith-based organizations, businesses and more to join the community planning meetings that shape the day.

Launched after the COVID-19 pandemic, Phoenix Day unites residents on a block to build relationships, knowledge, and concrete plans to help each other when things go wrong. With free event technical assistance and block party permit sponsorship, neighbors in every district can take action in creating safer streets and resilient communities.
