Sunday Streets Western Addition

September 22nd, 2019 | 11:00am – 4:00pm

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 22.

Open streets transform neighborhood roadways into a free, temporary park with plenty of space for everyone to enjoy, whether you’re playing chess in the streets, dancing to live music, bringing the kids for a hula-hoop session, worshipping at an outdoor religious service or simply getting your daily exercise.
