What Is Umbrella Alley?

Umbrella Alley is a cheerful burst of creativity tucked into Fisherman’s Wharf — an outdoor art space filled with murals, immersive backdrops, and seasonal installations designed for photos, fun, and supporting local artists.

Think of it like an open-air art gallery you can walk through. It’s quick, it’s colorful, and it’s the kind of place that makes you say, “Wait… how have I never seen this before?”


Umbrella Alley 2.0: A New Home, Same Joyful Vibe

Since opening in 2019, Umbrella Alley has become a must-see stop for visitors and locals alike—celebrated for vibrant murals, community spirit, and seriously photo-friendly art.

Now, Umbrella Alley 2.0 is starting fresh in a new location and will continue building over the next 12–16 months. That means it’s worth visiting now (hello, finished murals!) and it’ll be even more fun to return later and see what’s new.


Now Open with 7 Murals (More Being Painted Right Now)

At the new Jefferson Street location, 7 murals are already complete, turning the alley into a vibrant outdoor gallery. Highlights include:

  • I Left My Heart in San Francisco – Artist Brian Huber’s signature heart balloon design celebrating the city’s spirit
  • See the World – A global celebration of imagination and travel by 3Nolam and Brian Huber
  • California Dreaming – A fan favorite created by 12 Bay Area muralists, one for each letter
  • California Adventure VW Bus – Skyebot’s whimsical retro VW bus with chill California vibes
  • Dragon Koi – Luke Dragon’s swirling koi design that brings movement and energy to the wall
  • Rainbow Rain – A joyful splash of color from Brian Huber (because SF fog deserves a rainbow response)
  • Umbrella Mural – An upcoming piece by Luinova honoring the Alley’s name and spirit (may still be in progress depending on timing)

Pro tip: Because Umbrella Alley 2.0 is actively growing, you may even catch artists painting on-site. It’s like a mini behind-the-scenes look at a mural coming to life.
