Sunday Streets Excelsior: over 17,000 people in classic SF weather
As the first Ciclovia of the season, Sunday Streets Excelsior more than ever highlighted the importance of all the fantastic volunteers, exhibitors, performers, and D11 neighbors, nonprofits, and businesses to making July 21st a success.
Sunday Streets continues to be a space for community and lively civic participation, bringing out pride and excitement for the city. As covered in Mission Local by reporter Junyao Yang: “… one could find traces of virtually every important candidate at the Sunday Streets event on Mission Street.”
Thank you again to all the partners who made this day so memorable in the 2024 Sunday Streets season.
