Fiesta On The Hill is a day of community building and fun that enhances the quality of life in our beautiful city. It is an opportunity for 8,000+ residents from across San Francisco to connect with a new neighborhood and enjoy over seven blocks of dozens of arts and crafts, local goods/services, and food vendors. Along with many vendors, highlights include live music and dancing, guest speakers, and family-friendly attractions, including a children’s area with games and more.

WHO DOES FIESTA SUPPORT?

Nearly 2,000 of our lowest-income neighbors in Bernal Heights and the Excelsior. Proceeds benefit the work of BHNC, a woman-led, majority BIPOC-staffed neighborhood center deeply rooted in the community. Programs and services for seniors, families, and people with disabilities strengthen the vitality and diversity of Bernal Heights and surrounding neighborhoods. BHNC’s affiliate arm, the Bernal Heights Housing Corporation, develops, preserves, and rehabilitates affordable housing for low-income adults and their children. In times of crisis, BHNC assists residents who need food pantry support or access to critical housing, health care, and financial or legal services. BHNC helps to make our community strong and resilient.

Unrestricted revenue from event sponsorships makes an organization healthier. It provides flexibility and the capacity to be nimble, responsive, and far-sighted. It allows BHNC to leverage other restricted funding sources and strengthens its position when funders look for signs of community commitment.
