Sunday Streets take place in diverse neighborhoods across the City, including the Tenderloin, Mission, Excelsior, Bayview, Western Addition, and South of Market. 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.

Tenderloin | “Sunday Streets” SF’s Free Street Festival & Block Party (2025)

This densely populated neighborhood houses the highest number of families with children, has one of the highest rates of car-free households, and has the least amount of park space per capita in San Francisco. Few neighborhoods make a better case for transforming streets into recreational space for playing and building community.

Highlights include free bike rentals, free massage demos, live music, DJs, bellydancers, a BBoy showcase and of course, giant bubbles.
