2023 Phoenix Day Block Party

Page Slow Street @ Fillmore/Webster - Lower Haight
Sunday, October 15, 12-5pm

We’re combining efforts with the Lower Haight Merchants & Neighbors Association to bring music, family fun (bubbles, lawn games, sidewalk chalk) pumpkin decoration, free bike repair and so much more to the block! We’ll also be unveiling our new Shared Spaces Public Parklet!

If you want to join our planning parties, come to Fillmore & Page on Tuesdays 5-6pm until Phoenix Day!

Page Slow Street Happy Hour

NW Corner of Page & Cole in Haight Ashbury
Friday September 29, 4:30-6:30pm

Join us for a family friendly Happy Hour. We’ll provide the beverages, street games (cornhole, connect 4, sidewalk chalk, bubbles) music and friendly neighborhood vibes!

Why this happy hour? We’re trying to garner support for the local installation of a bikeshare station; there is a crucial gap in the current network that this station would help fill. The installation of this specific station has been tried in 2 other locations ( Haight & Belevedere & on PSS @ Cole) and hasn’t been approved (we’ll tell you why in person). The third proposed location, in the former Godwill Loading zone, is the next desired location -Goodwill and neighbors directly adjacent are supportive! We’d love to add your voice of support.

Whether you’re en route to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, to the Great Highway Park, Critical Mass or especially if you’re on a Bikeshare bike - we’d love to see you roll through!

Any questions, email us!
