Umbrella Alley in Fisherman’s Wharf has reopened at our new home while we continue building and painting the next chapter of this colorful community space.
New Location: 366 Jefferson Street, San Francisco, CA 94133
We’re calling this Umbrella Alley 2.0 – a fresh start that will grow over the next 12–16 months into a vibrant art destination filled with murals, installations, and plenty of surprises.
Right now, 7 murals are already complete, with more being painted as we speak!
Thank you for your support as we take this exciting next step. We can’t wait for you to visit, snap photos, and watch the new Alley come to life.
Visit this interactive mural spot in Fisherman’s Wharf – a perfect Instagram-friendly backdrop for your San Francisco photos. Eleven murals and artworks are complete and more murals are getting started. The alley is always a colorful and fun work in progress.
The family-friendly murals, and even the pavement, are painted in bright colors to encourage joy, fun, and laughter.
Among many murals check out a 50’ wide California Dreaming, I Left My Heart in San Francisco hearts, and the iconic Greetings from San Francisco retro postcard murals. The alley is full of fun installations plus brightly colored balloons and umbrellas suspended throughout the entire space. Particularly popular is the Summer of Love Monarch Butterly wall mural featuring a 60’s theme 3D butterfly.
California Dreamin’ is a collaboration project with 12 muralists

Umbrella Alley took that inspiration and created a happy, joyful space for visitors and locals alike. It began as a few murals in a festive atmosphere and gradually expanded to include colorful umbrellas and balloons from our friends in Portugal. As months turned into years, the erratic economy affected artists more severely, and the Alley’s mission became clear: to support Bay Area artists by hiring them to create these spectacular works.
Initially designed and funded by the owner of the two sightseeing tour companies San Francisco Electric Tour Company and San Francisco Jeep Tours that are based in the Alley, Umbrella Alley now thrives thanks to visitors from around the world.
Umbrella Alley is always evolving. Watch for new murals.
Special thanks go to the building landlords, the Davis family, and the neighbors, the Olson family, for graciously allowing and encouraging the colorful use of their space.
