Generations of forward-thinking individuals and modern-day heroes have made Eureka Valley — also known as the Castro — a global epicenter for human rights. Originally a Scandinavian enclave, this inclusive neighborhood is now home to a diverse community of LGBTQ+ and allies, and is a destination for visitors from around the world.
History is both preserved and alive in forms like 2238 Market (incorporating the facade of Sullivan’s Funeral Home which first provided for men during the AIDS crisis) and the Human Rights Campaign (located at 575 Castro Street where Harvey Milk operated Castro Camera). Harvey Milk Plaza is still today an active community gathering space where ‘Hope Will Never Be Silent.’
The Castro is peppered with green spaces, parklets, plazas, and outdoor dining. Hike up Corona Peak for stunning views, or head east to Dolores Park for an “only in San Francisco” experience. During spring and summer there’s a weekly farmers’ market on Noe Street.
