Come dance in the streets with Sunday Streets car-free route along The Western Addition’s main corridors! Fillmore and sections of Fulton and Baker Streets will be open to pedestrians, cyclists, roller-skaters, toddlers, families, seniors and more on September 9.
Here’s what to check out:
- Lower Fillmore Hub: Shop local vendors with the Sunday Streets open-air Market Square, and partake in fun kids activities with SF Circus Center at Fillmore and Eddy.
- O’Farrell + Fillmore: Kids can climb to the sky with SF Rec and Park’s Mobile Rock Climbing Wall.

During World War 2, the area became known as a hub for African American culture, spanning everything from literature to art and music, earning it the nickname ‘the Harlem of the West.’
Today, Sunday Streets celebrates local establishments, like music venue the Boom Boom Room, after-school hangout Miyako Old Fashioned Ice Cream for deli lunches, and the African American Art & Culture Complex for gallery exhibits, theater performances and classes.
The Fillmore corridor enjoys a high level of foot traffic and diverse population, along with plenty of public transit options. Sunday Streets loves working with the Western Addition community, especially providing support and activation for small businesses.
