Uniqlo SF Grand Reopening Weekend w/ Street Fest, Discounts & Giveaways (Oct. 9-11)
UNIQLO Market Street celebrates its grand opening with a free street festival (Oct 9) on Ellis Street between Stockton and Powell. The event includes DJ sets on two stages, interactive art and science activities, street soccer, Japanese calligraphy and origami workshops, food vendors, giveaways, and six large-scale Market Street art cubes by Bay Area artists. The festival is family-friendly and open to the public, with optional RSVP.
UNIQLO’s new Downtown SF location is at 801 Market Street, the old “Old Navy” location, a 1907 building at Market and 4th. UNIQLO previously had a flagship store in Union Square which closed down in March 2021. So a little more than 5 years later, UNIQLO is back in downtown.
Plus there are deals, performances and giveaways all weekend at the store.
