About Sunday Streets - Sunday Streets helps residents enjoy their streets as community spaces by creating 8 car-free events in diverse neighborhoods across San Francisco. The perfect way to enjoy your neighborhood or visit another, Sunday Streets allows participants to explore miles of car-free streets full of free, fun activities provided by neighborhood groups, non-profit organizations, and local merchants.
At the heart of this presentation is the sincere desire for Sunday Streets to mitigate any inconvenience to congregations whose worship hours coincide with the program as well as to better engage the participation of communities of faith in the program.
