Sunday Streets Mission Recap: an incredible 26,000 people walking, biking, and dancing down Valencia Street
On August 25, the Sunday Streets Mission mile-plus long open streets event welcomed thousands of residents and visitors to take their place on the car-free streets, enjoying programming, shopping at local businesses, and exploring fun free activities for all.
The event took place within the American Indian Cultural District(AICD) and was made all the more special with the merchants, outreach, and performances sponsored by the American Indian Cultural Center (AICC). AICD and AICC highlighted their beautiful art activations from the citywide Indigenize Project and Sunday Streets encourages those who missed it on the day-of to check them out.
Thank you to all our partners and a special shout-out to the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department as presenting agency sponsor for bringing free swimming at Mission Pool on this rare blazing hot summer Sunday!
