SF Climate Week: Yerba Buena Gardens Day

SF Climate Week’s main public daytime gathering lands at Yerba Buena Gardens on Thursday, April 23, with panels, exhibits, performances and community programming running into the evening. (sfclimateweek.org) The event is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Yerba Buena Gardens, 750 Howard St. in downtown San Francisco, according to the official SF Climate Week calendar and the gardens’ visitor information. (sfclimateweek.org) (yerbabuenagardens.org) SF Climate Week is running from April 18 to April 26 this year, with organizers describing it as a citywide week of climate events spanning policy, startups, arts and community gatherings across San Francisco. (sfclimateweek.org) (stories.climatebase.org) The Yerba Buena Gardens stop puts that programming in one of the city’s best-known public spaces, a two-block downtown park between Third and Fourth streets and Mission and Folsom streets. The gardens are free to enter and open daily from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. (yerbabuenagardens.org 1) (yerbabuenagardens.org 2) This year’s climate week follows a bigger 2025 edition. Climatebase said last year’s San Francisco Climate Week drew more than 25,000 attendees across more than 650 events. (stories.climatebase.org) The week’s schedule shows the format has expanded beyond industry panels to include public-facing events, from youth programming at Yerba Buena Gardens on April 24 to neighborhood gatherings and arts events across the city. (drawdown.org) (sfclimateweek.org) Yerba Buena Gardens has hosted climate-week programming before. On April 18, the site held the official welcome day, billed as a Green Business Expo and Earth Day festival with live music, vendors and demonstrations.
