From January – March 2026, Commercial Street will open to pedestrians weekly every Friday and Saturday from 12-6PM, with each month featuring signature themed activations on select dates:

  • February 14: Valentine’s Day Match-Making Event

This initiative is a collaborative effort led by the Community Youth Center of San Francisco (CYC) in partnership with the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) and Self-Help for the Elderly. The project aims to activate public space, enhance neighborhood safety through increased foot traffic, and foster community-centered experiences in Chinatown.
