Our Story
The SuperHero Street Fair was created to recognize individuals and organizations throughout San Francisco for their outstanding contribution to the arts and/or community action. San Francisco is home to many visual artists, music performers and community activists. These people call the Bay Area home, either working or living here.
We wish to provide a platform to showcase the achievements of these people and enjoy a day of celebration and community ... through art and theme related exhibits, live theater and poetry, live bands and electronic music, local food trucks, and the "SuperHero Awards" recognizing specific individuals and organizations for their contribution. Ceremonies also include the Mayoral proclamation of "SuperHero Day" in San Francisco.
A portion of the proceeds benefit local organizations for their outstanding achievement. We wish to provide support to their projects. Each year's recipients are listed on our website: www.superherosf.com. We urge you to support them as well. The organizers have each lived in San Francisco for over 25 years and work to affect positive change in our community!
Newly enforced regulations in San Francisco are making events like SuperHero harder to produce. The area of friction is the difficult line between greater population density and therefore stronger enforcement of the many varied city regulations, and the work of doing independent non-sponsorship driven privately funded events that take a huge amount of personal risk for the organizers under more and more difficult conditions. We place no blame on city agencies and the staff we have worked with for years ... almost all of them have been, and are, great to work with. We hope to be back in full force for 2019, which also marks our 10 year Anniversary! The planned venue is the nightclub Great Northern, centrally located in San Francisco at 119 Utah street between 15th street and Alameda. We will have a block party on the streets surrounding Great Northern, with music, Cosplay fashion shows, cool exhibits and more. Expect great vendors, art cars, rocking outdoor stages, SuperHero related exhibits, costumes and awards, and delicious food trucks.
To infinity and beyond ...
