Parking, driving and public transit will be affected in Downtown, Civic Center, the Financial District and South of Market neighborhoods on Saturday for the 30th annual Pistahan Parade.
The parade starts at 11 a.m. in Civic Center Plaza and ends at Yerba Buena Gardens, where the annual Pistahan Festival will be celebrated on both Saturday and Sunday.
As a result, streets will be closed and the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency will reroute service in the area, altering 16 Muni streetcar and bus lines and moving over 100 stops.
