Cow Hollow
This year's re-imagined Union Street Fair retains the live music and spirit of past events while adding new features. The new Cuisine Court will be serving up various international foods alongside fair favorites and two new lounges with soft seating will provide a comfortable spot to enjoy live music while sampling craft beers or spirits. There will also be fun activities for the kids making this an event the whole family can enjoy.
How to Get There on Muni: Riders may take the 22 Fillmore, 45 Union/Stockton, 47 Van Ness, 49 Van Ness/Mission or 76X Marin Headlands Express routes to near the festival.
Muni Service Notes: The 45 Union/Stockton Route will have a reroute around the area of the festival. All other routes in the area should experience little to no service disruptions.
Statuto Race
Sunday, 9 a.m. start time
North Beach
First held in North Beach in 1919 as a commemoration of the first Italian Constitution (Statuto Albertino), the annual Statuto Race is the nation's fourth-oldest foot race. This year marks the 99th edition of the race due to a single missed year of the event during World War II. The 8K run/2M walk begins on Stockton Street at the SF Italian Athletic Club at 9 a.m. and will proceed north along Stockton to North Point before turning east, taking participants south along the Embarcadero as far as Bryant Street before returning along the same route back to North Beach.
How to Get There on Muni: To reach the starting line, riders may take the 8 Bayshore, 30 Stockton, 39 Coit or the 45 Union/Stockton routes.
Muni Service Notes: The 39 Coit Route will have a reroute during the event. All other routes in the area may see some minor delays and increased ridership before and after the race.
Remember that you can take Muni for the entire day for a single $5 fare. The new $5 Day Pass, available on MuniMobile®, is part of Muni’s recent fare changes. The pass is intended to encourage a safe, convenient way to pay your fare and quickly board Muni vehicles, which reduces overall travel time for everyone. The $5 Day Pass is Muni bus, rail and historic streetcars only.
