On a crisp late San Francisco summer morning recently, Steiner street hosted another Wigglefest: a celebration of The Wiggle’s past and future. Wigglefest is held twice a year, but it looked a little bit different this time. It grew a few blocks! Steiner was opened to people from Duboce to Waller, both on foot and all kinds of wheels.

Passersby connecting with neighbors, Duboce Park, plants from Flora Grubb Nursery, local musicians, a mural on the window of a long dormant building, a reading garden, mindful bubbles, face painting, chalk, games - they all found a temporary home in the street for all who encountered them. It begged the question heard from many that day: why can’t it be like this all the time? If you’re interested in helping make that happen, get in touch. sfwigglefest@gmail.com
