There’s good news for art lovers, photographers, and anyone who just loves a splash of color — Umbrella Alley is back! After closing its original home, this beloved San Francisco art destination has officially reopened in a brand-new location at 366 Jefferson Street in Fisherman’s Wharf.
Since it first opened in 2019, Umbrella Alley has captured hearts (and countless selfies) as one of San Francisco’s most joyful and Instagram-worthy attractions. It’s a place where street art meets storytelling, where visitors and locals mingle with murals, and where creativity bursts from every wall. Now, the Alley is starting its next chapter — Umbrella Alley 2.0 — and it’s shaping up to be even more colorful, playful, and community-driven than ever.

What’s Still to Come: Umbrellas and Big Dreams
If you’re wondering where the colorful umbrellas are — don’t worry! The beloved overhead installations will return in winter and spring 2026. Once again, visitors will be able to stroll beneath a canopy of floating umbrellas and balloons that have become a symbol of hope and creativity in the city.
For now, the focus is on murals, installations, and rebuilding the community energy that made the original Umbrella Alley such a success. The project is a true collaboration between artists, volunteers, and fans who have supported the Alley since day one.

Umbrella Alley is open Wednesday through Sunday, 10:30 AM to sunset (closed Monday and Tuesday unless artists are painting). The facility is gated and closed after hours.
This small attraction is powered by passion — and supported by generous guests who make it possible for local artists to keep creating.
