Background
Sunday Streets is San Francisco’s open streets program with an annual season of events that reclaim car-congested streets for community health, transforming them into car-free spaces for all to enjoy. Since starting the program in 2008 with two events along the waterfront, the nonprofit Livable City has grown Sunday Streets into one of North America’s premiere open street programs. The program annually serves over 100,000 residents in diverse neighborhoods across the City in partnership with the SFMTA, the San Francisco Department of Public Health, and the City and County of San Francisco.
Sunday Streets events are between 1 and 4 miles in length, filled with free activities and community resources provided by local nonprofit organizations, community groups, and small businesses. In the 2024 season, Sunday Streets will engage the following neighborhoods: Bayview, Excelsior, Mission, SoMa, Tenderloin, and Western Addition. The events are anticipated to take place between May and October, with planning activities starting as early as January. Each Sunday Streets event will be powered by Livable City staff, 10-15 event-day staff managed by the consultant, and 30 to 50 volunteers recruited by Livable City throughout the day.
During the planning process, the Sunday Streets program team collaborates with community stakeholders to finalize the event date, location, size, and programming requested by the residents and neighborhood-based nonprofit partners aligned with Sunday Streets and Livable City’s mission. The event attendees are neighborhood residents, visitors, and service providers looking to engage with the neighborhood. With nonprofit partners and sponsors, Sunday Streets strives to provide resources for children, youth, seniors, and individuals with disabilities at every event.
