SAN FRANCISCO — A Community Fall Festival and Oktoberfest Block Party is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 3 on Noriega Street in the Outer Sunset, with one block closed for most of the day and the 7 Haight/Noriega rerouted around the event.
The festival itself runs noon to 6 p.m. on Noriega between 24th and 25th avenues, according to SFMTA. The road closure begins four hours earlier and lasts until 7 p.m.
What time is Sunset Oktoberfest?
SFMTA lists the Community Fall Festival and Oktoberfest Block Party from 12 to 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 3.
The event area is the single block of Noriega Street between 24th and 25th avenues in the Outer Sunset.
When is Noriega Street closed?
Noriega Street between 24th and 25th avenues will be closed from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m., SFMTA says.
The closure therefore starts before the public event and continues for an hour after the listed 6 p.m. finish. Drivers should not plan on using that block during the closure window.
How is the 7 Haight/Noriega rerouted?
The 7 Haight/Noriega will detour around the block from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Inbound buses toward downtown are scheduled to travel from Noriega and 25th via 25th Avenue, Ortega Street and 22nd Avenue before returning to the regular route. SFMTA does not list a missed inbound stop in its current advisory.
Outbound buses toward Ocean Beach are scheduled to travel from 23rd and Noriega via 23rd Avenue, Ortega Street and 25th Avenue before returning to Noriega. The regular Noriega Street & 25th Avenue stop is missed in that direction.
Where can outbound 7 riders board instead?
SFMTA lists two alternatives for the missed outbound stop: 23rd Avenue & Noriega Street and a temporary flag stop at 25th Avenue & Noriega Street on the southeast corner.
Riders should check real-time service information on the day because event detours can change with street conditions. SF News Today’s Transit desk also carries current service and closure coverage.
What will be at the Oktoberfest block party?
SFMTA’s official event notice identifies the gathering as a Community Fall Festival and Oktoberfest Block Party, but its current page does not publish a detailed vendor, entertainment or activity schedule.
For that reason, SF News Today is not listing unverified bands, beer vendors, children’s programming or admission terms. This guide will stay focused on the confirmed hours, location, closure and Muni changes unless the organizers publish additional primary-source details.
What else is happening in San Francisco that weekend?
The same weekend brings Hardly Strictly Bluegrass to Golden Gate Park from Oct. 2–4 and the Castro Street Fair on Sunday, Oct. 4. Those events have separate transit and street impacts.
