Photo Walks
Registrations begin May 5th!
This may be what we do best. Every year we host free photo walks
every day of the festival in different neighborhoods throughout the
city, and we get fantastic feedback about them. This year we’re
adding more. We’ll have the signup page ready soon.

- Market Street from Civic Center to the Embarcadero
- Union Square
- Financial District
- Embarcadero
- Chinatown
- Haight Street near Golden Gate Park on 6/10 (for the Haight Street Fair)
