Payment Link & Forms
2024 Per Event Registration Fees
REGISTRATION FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE & DO NOT INCLUDE EQUIPMENT
In order to support our fundraising efforts and generate programming funds for Sunday Streets, we have made the decision to raise the registration fee for our mile-long Open Street Destinations this year. As the popularity of our events continues to grow, so does the need for additional resources to ensure their success and sustainability for years to come. These events can feature up to 175 different organizations, each contributing activities for the enjoyment of over 12,000 event attendees. Managing this growing volume of activities and partners has put a considerable strain on our staff capacity. By raising the registration fee, we can generate the necessary funds to support our fundraising and advocacy efforts within our communities, ensuring long-term support and sustainability of Sunday Streets. Registration fees help keep Sunday Streets rolling into neighborhoods across San Francisco with free recreation and much needed open space for all of our communities to reconnect safely.
