Things to remember about the Fair
Street closures are a big issue in San Francisco during the Castro Street Fair, as cars and public transit cannot access many of the major thoroughfares through the Castro. Thus, it is important to make note of the following road closures when traveling through the city the afternoon of the fair. Between 4am and 10pm Market Street (between Noe and Eureka) and Castro Street (between 16th and 19th) will be completely closed. 17th and 18th Streets between Noe and Diamond are also closed for the duration of the street fair. Customers of Super Cheap Car Hires San Francisco will find parking (for a fee) at the Everett Middle School Parking Lot, located on the north side of 17th Street between Church and Sanchez.
