Promenade Presents was a program designed and funded by the SF Parks Alliance to bring community and culture to JFK Promenade.
SF Parks Alliance provided grants ranging from $100-$4,000 to local community-based organizations for activities at multiple locations along the Promenade during fall 2022.
We’re looking for small activations to draw folks from all communities to Golden Gate Park and celebrate the diversity of San Francisco. We invite performers and fun-makers to engage the community in anything from kids events to cultural celebrations to dance performances!
