Umbrella Alley is Back – Now Open with 7 Murals!

Umbrella Alley in Fisherman’s Wharf has reopened at our brand-new home, as we continue painting and building the next colorful chapter of this community art space.

📍 New Location: 366 Jefferson Street, San Francisco, CA 94133

Since opening in 2019, Umbrella Alley has become a must-see destination for visitors and locals alike—celebrated for its vibrant murals, community spirit, and Instagram-worthy art installations. Now, we’re excited to introduce Umbrella Alley 2.0. Seven murals are already complete, with more underway, and over the next 12–16 months the Alley will grow into an even bigger, brighter, and more joyful art experience.

What to Expect at Umbrella Alley 2.0

Murals by local artists already fill the space with color and creativity.
Interactive street art like the California Dreaming mural offers unforgettable photo ops.
Overhead installations are coming soon – colorful umbrellas and balloons will be added in winter and spring 2026, bringing back the playful, dream-like atmosphere you know and love.

Thank you for your continued love and support as we bring this new space to life. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a longtime fan, we can’t wait to welcome you back—with more color, more art, and even more joy.

Another piece up on the wall here at Umbrella Alley version 2.0
#seetheworld by @3nolam and @brianhuberart

Other than eyeballs being placed backwards (soon to be fixed) this one is good to go. 7 murals are back up with many more to be painted this fall and winter. I took us four years to build the original umbrella alley. This one’s gonna take a minute.. thanks to everybody who’s been dropping cash donations to help fund this project.

Umbrella Alley version 2.0 is at 366 Beach Street San Francisco Ca 94133
The Alley is now open during construction and when mural artists are here painting.
There are no set hours - if we are here working we try to be open!

Beautiful murals need beautiful walls. Full speed day building 4 new huge walls for murals at Umbrella Alley. This is one of the last big construction projects before we do our soft opening. Plan is to have a few murals up and ready for photos when we reopen version 2.0

Our amazing Mural painters will be working on new murals through the fall and winter. The first version of Umbrella Alley took about three years to build.

THIS POSTCARD MURAL IS GOING TO BE REPAINTED AT THE NEW LOCATION IN WINTER OF 2025

Maxfield Bala’s mission working in Umbrella Alley in San Francisco was to paint a large scale Greetings From San Francisco Mural in the style of “Greeting From” poscards from the 40’s and 50’s.

The mural features the cities most notable iconography including the Golden Gate Bridge, City Hall, Coit Tower, Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, Ferry Building, Cable Car, Painted Ladies, Lombard Street, and The Palace of Fine Arts among many others. The mural measures 13′ tall by 18′ wide.
