2nd Annual San Francisco Juneteenth Parade Promises Unforgettable Celebration of Freedom and Unity
San Francisco, CA – April 9, 2024 – The Dreamkeepers initiative, in partnership with the City of San Francisco, is thrilled to announce the highly anticipated 2nd Annual San Francisco Juneteenth Parade, set to take place on Saturday, June 8th, 2024. This year’s parade promises to be a vibrant celebration of freedom, unity, and community resilience, commemorating the historical significance of Juneteenth.
The Juneteenth Parade, sponsored by Dreamkeepers and the City of San Francisco, will kick off at Market Street, featuring captivating floats representing various community organizations, schools, and corporate partners. Led by esteemed dignitaries and community leaders, the parade will traverse through the heart of San Francisco, symbolizing the journey toward equity and justice for all.
Building on decades of neighborhood-based planning and open streets activation, the nonprofit Livable City will be leading event production with Fillmore- and Bayview-based organizers to bring the procession to the city streets.
Highlighting the festivities will be a stellar performance by acclaimed artist Larry June, headlining the musical lineup for the event. Larry June, a beloved figure in the hip-hop community, brings his infectious energy and dynamic stage presence to the Juneteenth Parade, promising an electrifying experience for attendees.
In addition to Larry June, the Juneteenth Parade will showcase performances by an incredible group of artists, including soul singer Goapele, poet and activist Tongo Eisen-Martin, rapper Stunnaman02, and the soulful harmonies of The Glide Choir. San Francisco native Martin Luther, renowned for his work in music and theater, will also be performing, along with hip-hop producer Ronski and more. This diverse lineup guarantees a day filled with electrifying music, thought-provoking poetry, and inspiring performances.
Mayor London Breed, a staunch advocate for diversity and inclusion, expressed her excitement for the upcoming parade, stating, “The Juneteenth Parade is a testament to the resilience and strength of our community. As we come together to celebrate freedom and unity, let us honor the legacy of Juneteenth and continue our commitment to justice and equality for all.”
In addition to the parade, attendees can look forward to a jubilant festival featuring live performances, vendor booths, and a delectable array of food and beverages.

The post MEDIA ADVISORY 16TH ANNUAL SUNDAY STREETS WESTERN ADDITION BLOCK PARTY ON SEPTEMBER 22 appeared first on Livable City.
On November 5th, San Francisco voters can decide to create a permanent public park along Ocean Beach. Ocean Beach is currently a city park, but our enjoyment of the beach is limited by the four-lane highway which runs through it, severing the City from our western shore.
Proposition K will amend the City’s Parks Code to remove private vehicles from Upper Great Highway after the weekend-only car-free open space pilot ends in 2025. This will allow the four-lane highway to be transformed into a two-mile public promenade, like the JFK Promenade in Golden Gate Park, and add amenities like benches and accessibility improvements to further public enjoyment of the park and open it to more San Franciscans and visitors.
Prop K will allow emergency vehicle access to Upper Great Highway as needed. Lower Great Highway, which is outside the park, will also continue to allow private cars.
Livable City first piloted a people-oriented Ocean Beach Park in 2009 when it brought Sunday Streets to Great Highway once or twice yearly for a decade. The road was made car-free as a pandemic emergency measure, and it attracted an estimated two million visitors between April 2020 and May 2022. Today about 4,000 people visit the park every weekend, making it one of San Francisco’s most-visited.
Opponents argue that the measure will be burdensome to car commuters. However Upper Great Highway’s reliability as a commute route is already limited, and becoming more so with time. Sand moving onto the highway from the beach and dunes makes it impassible to cars over 60 days per year. Erosion of the coastal bluffs south of Sloat Boulevard will necessitate ending the highway at Sloat and removing the portion between Sloat and Skyline as early as next year, as part of an already approved plan. It’s time we reclaimed Ocean Beach for people and nature and focus on better ways to get people around, including more walking, cycling, and transit options for San Francisco’s Westside neighborhoods.
Access to water makes people happier and healthier, and we’re naturally drawn to it. A century of highway and industrial development has degraded our Bay and Ocean, limiting public access and enjoyment of our waterfront. The Embarcadero Freeway was removed in 1992 to create the public promenade we love today. In 2001, Chrissy Field was transformed into a popular shoreline national park. Candlestick Point became the first urban state recreation area in 1977, and another section of India Basin shoreline will become a City park this fall. Creating Ocean Beach Park will be a big step forward in the popular movement to reclaim San Francisco’s shoreline for people and nature.
Let’s keep moving in the right direction. Vote Yes on Prop K to make Ocean Beach Park a reality.

Proposition L, the ComMUNIty Transit Act is headed to the ballot box this November, after volunteers gathered over 17,800 signatures to put the measure on the ballot. If approved it will provide another $30 million annually for better Muni service.
The measure will increase the City’s gross receipts business tax on ride hail companies, including Uber and Lyft, to fund Muni. The additional funding will be dedicated to Muni service, and Muni can use it to prevent service cuts and improve transit access to public schools, libraries, and parks. It can also be used to fund discount programs for youth, seniors, people with disabilities, and people with low incomes.
Public transit is an essential public service. It provides freedom and opportunity to city dwellers. It gives us access to work, school, family and friends, shopping, recreation, nature, and culture. The Community Transit Act will boost Muni funding by an estimated $30 million annually. Ride hail services increase traffic congestion and pollution. These companies should pay a fairer share to offset their impacts on our health, our neighborhoods, and our planet, and to support transportation choices that do less harm.
Muni has worked hard to rebuilt service since the pandemic. These restoration efforts have been aided by Federal relief funds. While there’s much left to do, rider satisfaction is at a ten-year high. Muni has usage shifted since the pandemic. Fewer commuters are headed to downtown office jobs, ridership is higher than pre-pandemic levels on some neighborhood-serving lines. The MTA, which governs both Muni and street traffic and parking, wisely expanded the City’s network of transit-priority lanes during the pandemic. Prioritizing transit on more streets has helped preserve Muni speed and reliability. Muni service has grown the most on lines, like the Van Ness lines and the 22 Fillmore, where MTA invested in improving frequency, speed, reliability, and accessibility. These ridership increases show that San Franciscans will choose to use quality public transit if the City provides it. And encouraging more San Franciscans to choose transit is key to meeting our climate, equity, housing, and safe streets commitments.
The Community Transit Act will help protect us from Muni service cuts and fare increases as the City tightens its General Fund budget, and can help sustain progress on restoring and improving service. It’s not enough on its own to prevent cuts and fare increases after the pandemic Federal funding expires in 2026. Losing that additional public funding will leave Muni with an estimated deficit of $220 million annually in the 2026-27 fiscal year. The state legislature and the regional Metropolitan Transportation Commission are discussing a regional measure to address the operating shortfalls of Bay Area transit agencies after the 2026 ‘fiscal cliff’. Such a measure would need voter approval in 2026. Passing the Community Transit Act is an important step towards meet the bigger budget challenges ahead.
Volunteers and organizers carried 17.800 signatures into City Hall in Muni-themed boxes on Friday July 5We need your help to pass the Community Transit Act in November. You can find out more on the campaign web site.
And be sure to sign up for Livable City’s e-news for more ways to support and speak up for public transit.

Fillmore Holiday Night Market 2024In the 1950s hundreds of black-owned businesses made the Historic Fillmore a vibrant, multicultural community with one of the most prominent jazz scenes on the West Coast.
