Bernal Heights neighbors, let’s transform Cortland Avenue into a magical Halloween haven this October 31st, 2025!

In previous Halloweens, Cortland Avenue’s narrow sidewalks and busy traffic created hazardous conditions for trick-or-treaters. This year, we’re transforming the street into a car-free zone, ensuring a safer, more spacious, and festive environment for our community celebration.

Our Vision:

A car-free Cortland Avenue
Safe space for trick-or-treaters of all ages
Local businesses and residents create spooktacular experiences
A true community gathering that showcases the best of Bernal Heights

How You Can Help Make This Vision a Reality:

Donate to Our Cause. While Greening Projects has covered the initial $1,200 SFMTA fee, we need to raise an additional $8,800 for permits and logistics. Every dollar counts!

- $25 helps secure safety barriers
- $50 supports volunteer coordination
- $100 contributes to event insurance
- $500 sponsors a block’s worth of decorations

Your tax-deductible donation will directly impact the success and safety of this community event.

Together, we can create a Halloween experience that will become a cherished tradition in Bernal Heights tradition. Let’s show San Francisco the power of community spirit!
