Bernal Heights Merchant Walk

EVENT REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED
9/27/24 1:08 PM

Join us for a Merchant Walk through Bernal Heights, a neighborhood steeped in history and charm. Once a rural pasture and a haven after the 1906 earthquake, Bernal Heights has evolved into a vibrant community known for its stunning city views, unique architecture, and warm, welcoming atmosphere.

As we stroll along Cortland Avenue, we’ll visit several independently owned businesses, from artisanal cafes to distinctive boutiques, each with its own story to tell. The walk will culminate in a lively reception where you can connect with fellow attendees and celebrate the rich, local culture that makes Bernal Heights truly special.
