Every Fall, the San Francisco edition of the Come Out & Play festival brings the Bay Area together for a full weekend of games played in public spaces. From playgrounds to galleries to malls to sidewalks, the Come Out and Play festival fills the city with new, unique, and playful experiences.

In addition to the festival, Come Out and Play organizes games all year round, bringing game designers, community members, and players of all ages together to make the city more fun.

Alongside our sibling organization in New York, Come Out & Play seeks to provide a forum for new types of public games and play. We want to bring together a public eager to rediscover the world around them through play with designers interested in producing innovative new games and experiences. We want to have city-size fun.
