On August 25, 2024, Sunday Streets SF will open up 1+ mile of streets in the Mission for an afternoon of car-free fun for the whole family. As one of the most visited Sunday Streets SF events of all time, Sunday Streets Mission is one of the open street destination (Ciclovía) routes to take this season.

Taking place on Valencia Street between Duboce Ave and 26th Street, neighbors and visitors alike can enjoy free recreation, health resources, music, dance, and more!

Inspired by Bogotá Colombia’s weekly Ciclovía, which began in 1974, Sunday Streets reclaims car-congested streets for community health, creating temporary open space and recreational opportunities in neighborhoods most lacking while encouraging physical activity, community-building and a reconsideration of public space. As a resident of San Francisco's Excelsior district for the past 10 years, I’m excited to join local nonprofits and small businesses with my herbalist hat on for this fun day celebrating health and community at Excelsior Sunday Streets!

I’ll have calendula salve, the incredible heal-all for hardworking hands, lavender hydrosol, hand-stitched lavender hearts, Flower Power tonic tea, lemon balm plant starts for your garden and medicinal floral arrangements to eat, use and enjoy!

Join me to celebrate the summer solstice with a sun-themed medicine class at San Francisco’s Alemany Farm! We'll learn about the botanical patterns found in the sunflower family, Asteraceae, explore the farm to find medicinal and edible members of this family and learn how they support our health. Tastings included!
