Citywide Juneteenth - Livable City

San Francisco’s Third Annual Juneteenth Parade On Market St

San Francisco is a world-class city and a premier global destination for Juneteenth festivities, including the main event: a flagship parade and celebration in the heart of the City that engages, inspires, and highlights unifying Black vibrancy.

The parade will begin at 11 a.m. on Market & Spear, proceeding west along Market to 8th Street. Vehicles and parade floats will disperse south via 8th Street. Those walking in the parade contingent will disperse onto westbound Grove and northbound Hyde streets.

Save the date for Sunday June 22, 2025 on Market St. For sponsorship inquiries, reach out to Tamara Walker at [email protected]

Juneteenth Planning Committee

Building on decades of neighborhood-based planning and open streets activation, Livable City and Burge LLC has led event production with Fillmore- and Bayview-based organizers to bring the procession to the city streets since 2022.
