SAN FRANCISCO — Comedy Day runs free nearby in Robin Williams Meadow from noon to 5 p.m. The final Muni plan is now available for Sunday's Haight-Ashbury Street Fair, filling the biggest practical gap in SF News Today's original guide.
The fair takes over Haight Street between Masonic Avenue and Stanyan Street. Organizer vendor materials support an 11 a.m.–6 p.m. public fair window, while SFMTA's event advisory describes the event itself as ending at 5:30 p.m. The street closure lasts until 8 p.m. either way.
Which streets close?
Haight Street from Masonic to Stanyan closes from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. SFMTA also closes Ashbury, Clayton, Cole and Shrader between Page and Waller.
Which Muni routes reroute?
SFMTA will reroute the 7 Haight/Noriega, 33 Ashbury/18th Street, 37 Corbett and 43 Masonic, plus the early-morning N Judah bus.
| Route | Reroute window | Key detour |
|---|---|---|
| N Judah bus | 4:45–8 a.m. | Uses Waller/Masonic or Masonic/Frederick around Haight. |
| 7 Haight/Noriega | 5 a.m.–8 p.m. | Uses Waller/Masonic eastbound and Masonic/Frederick/Lincoln westbound. |
| 33 Ashbury/18th | 5 a.m.–8 p.m. | Uses Frederick/Stanyan or Stanyan/Waller/Ashbury. |
| 37 Corbett | 9 a.m.–8 p.m. | Temporary routing around Cole, Waller, Central, Masonic and Frederick. |
| 43 Masonic | 5 a.m.–8 p.m. | Uses Waller/Masonic or Masonic/Frederick/Cole. |
Several normal Haight Street stops are skipped. Riders should check SFMTA's event page for the direction-specific alternate stops before leaving.
What time does the fair end?
The organizer's vendor materials require vendors to vacate by 6 p.m. and list fair hours through 6 p.m. SFMTA describes the public event as 11 a.m.–5:30 p.m. SF News Today is preserving that half-hour discrepancy because both are current first-party sources.
Comedy Day is happening next door
Comedy Day is also scheduled Sept. 20 at Robin Williams Meadow just inside Golden Gate Park. That gives the eastern park edge two large free events on the same day, increasing the case for transit instead of driving.
