Phoenix Day Family Fun Hub Program

Sunday Streets SF and our partners are sponsoring permits for a Family Fun Hub in every district of the City on October 16th, 2022 so neighborhoods across San Francisco can come together in their streets to celebrate community, health and resilience.

Family Fun Hubs are envisioned to be like a mini Sunday Streets run by community members themselves hosting open space for play and gathering, local resource tables and vendors, and cultural offerings like music, dance, and arts and crafts activities that reflect San Francisco’s unique neighborhoods.

We hope you’ll take advantage of the program to create a special destination for your district and the whole San Francisco community!
