20th Annual Union Street
Holiday Program
On November 5, Union Street kicks off its highly anticipated Holiday Celebration, bringing a wealth of holiday-related entertainment to Cow Hollow, one of San Francisco’s most beautiful historic neighborhoods. From November 5 through December 25, Union Street, between Van Ness & Steiner, and Fillmore Street, from Union to Lombard, will feature an array of holiday-related entertainment and community events; from jugglers to face painters, art projects, holiday characters, cupcake decorating, a special Snow Queen children’s parade, carolers and more. We Can Care
On November 5, Union Street kicks off the “We Can Care” program. For six weeks, Union Street merchants will collect canned food to donate to the San Francisco Food Bank. Store windows will feature creative displays incorporating canned food to highlight the program and stores will offer shoppers discounts in exchange for cans of food. On December 12, Santa Claus will make his way down Union Street, collecting the cans for the SF Food Bank, and arrive at the Metro, where he will sit from 1:00 - 3:30 PM in front of a special holiday mural, with snow falling & live music. Also on December 12, the Guardsmen will be at the Metro trading raffle tickets, for drawings for Guardsman gala tickets and Christmas trees, for canned food. “It’s been a difficult year for many, so Union Street merchants have come together to launch a program that both expresses our gratitude to loyal customers and creates a vehicle to help people who are less fortunate than us,” said Bernard Faber, a Union Street Association merchant, “We Can Care is designed to remind us all that the holidays are as much about giving as they are about receiving.” Click here for a We CAN Care Poster.

The month-long celebration on Union Street also includes gift wrapping, validated parking, holiday dollars from Santa and the elves, store open houses, complete with refreshments and evening shopping, holiday lights, and the We Can Care windows. |
