2025 details are still TBA (as of 12/4/25). To give you a sense of what to expect, here is what Winter Walk offered in 2024:

2024 Details:
Winter Walk turned Stockton Street into a pedestrian plaza filled with turf, food trucks, pop-up bars, arctic-themed decor, and daily performances. Visitors also followed the eight-stop Ornament Trail along Powell Street, with oversized ornaments created by local artists and festive decor at the Cable Car Turnaround. Expect a similar experience for 2025, with a full lineup of programming, decor, and holiday activities.

Winter Walk 2025 takes place on Stockton Street between Post and O’Farrell.
Event hours are Monday to Wednesday from 11 am to 7 pm, and Thursday to Sunday from 11 am to 9 pm.

We are still awaiting confirmation on whether the Ornament Trail will return for 2025.
