San Francisco Street Fair and Festival Calendar 2026: Every Event With a City Street-Closure Permit

A street fair is only certain once the city has permitted the street closure. This calendar lists every public event with an SFMTA temporary street-closure permit, straight from the permit data, and links each one to its organizer. It is the confirmed backbone of our events calendar and our this weekend page.

How We Built This

Sources

• Temporary Street Closures (DataSF 8×25-yybr), maintained by the SFMTA’s ISCOTT unit and updated daily. It holds only permitted closures.
• Organizers’ own websites, for event names, hours and prices.

Method

1. We keep closures of type “Special Event” and group permit segments by case number, so each event appears once.
2. We leave out corporate and private events (conferences, company parties, filming, private celebrations) and anything that is not open to the public.
3. Residential block parties, Halloween trick-or-treat streets, weddings and birthdays are counted in the total but never listed, because listing them would point to people’s homes.
4. We list an event only when its organizer’s page, or the nature of the event, shows it is open to the public. Permits we could not confirm are counted, not listed.
5. A price is shown only when we found it on the organizer’s own page. Where the organizer’s dates differ from the permit, we say so rather than choose.
6. We re-pull the permits every week. Events that appear or disappear are reflected on the next update.

What This Data Cannot Tell You

• A permit confirms that the street is closed for the event on those dates. It does not confirm hours, prices or the program.
• Only SFMTA-permitted closures are included. Events in parks, plazas or on Port and Presidio land that do not close a street, and closures managed by Public Works or the police, are not in this data.
• Permit names are the applicant’s own. We tidy spacing but otherwise keep them, so an event may appear under a slightly different name from its publicity.
