Get ready to get out and WALK! For October 2026, we’re launching the first-ever Walktober, a city-wide festival dedicated to foot-powered exploration, health, and community connection.
Watch the Board of Supervisors proclaim October as San Francisco’s first annual Walktober here.
Walktober celebrates all the reasons we love to walk. Below is a complete calendar of the walks and other activities we’ve lined up so far. Click on each event link to learn more and reserve your spot. We’ll be adding more events, so be sure to check back.
