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 New: 9 Murals and more – Already Installed
Seven dazzling murals are already complete, turning the fresh walls of Umbrella Alley’s new home into a vibrant outdoor gallery.
- I Left My Heart in San Francisco – Artist Brian Huber captures the city’s soul with his signature heart balloon design. ❤️ #brianhuberart

Umbrella Alley 2.0 is still in progress — and that’s part of the fun! Visitors this year can see the space transform week by week as new murals are painted and new ideas come to life. Here’s a peek at what’s in the pipeline:

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 Fall of 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.
You can sponsor one of the New Umbrellas
Help sponsor one or more of 60 custom wind-tested umbrella sculptures designed to survive the legendary Fisherman’s Wharf winds while keeping the Alley bursting with color overhead.
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.
