All of our in-person events will take place at the San Francisco Disability Cultural Center, located at 165 Grove Street.

  • Wheelchair seating for you and your wheelchair user or non-wheelchair user companions in a wheelchair accessible venue.

  • Some spaces available for those who must bring their own seating.

    2. Make your way through UN Plaza and toward City Hall. Cross Hyde Street and continue past the library to Larkin Street.

    3. Turn left on Larkin Street and walk half a block to the corner of Larkin St. and Grove St.

    4. Cross Larkin St. and turn right onto Grove St.

    5. Walk one and a half blocks up Grove St.

    6. The DCC will be on your left.

    1. Exit MUNI at Market St. and Van Ness Ave.

    2. Head Northeast on Van Ness Ave. toward City Hall.

    3. The first large street you cross will be Fell St.

    4. Keep going down Van Ness Ave. until you reach Grove Street.

    5. Turn right on Grove Street.

    6. The DCC is just a few feet down the block on your right.

  • The nearest bus line is the 21, but we’re just a block from the 5, 5R, 49, and 90.

  • The best way to get driving directions is to enter 165 Grove Street into a smartphone’s navigation app. If you do not have a smartphone or navigation app, please email access [at] DisabilityCulturalCenter [dot] org and we can send you directions from your location.

    The DCC has no designated parking. There is a loading zone directly in front, so you can drop off passengers before parking nearby.

    Street parking can be limited, depending on the time of day. There are plenty of nearby parking garages, with prices ranging from $15 to $50. The adjacent blocks have parking meters, and if you go two-three blocks away, on Fulton starting between Franklin and Gough, you can find two-hour parking.

    The closest parking garage is at 360 Grove St. between Gough and Franklin.
