SF Pillow Fight Valentine's Day 2026!

It's that time of year again! a 16+ years SF tradition! Come out to Embarcadero Plaza (rain or shine) on Saturday 2/14 (Valentines Day) for a giant Pillow Fight! It's a great way to make some new friends, find a date, or just have some good old fashioned fun!

Bring a pillow (or 2, or 3...) and show up before 6pm - when the Ferry Building tower clock strikes 6pm, it has begun!

Many people dress up in fun costumes, bring music, etc. Always a good time! This is a family-friendly event and a good time for all!

**Please Help us clean up afterwards!!** Staying after is a great way to get to know your fluffy combatants more, and it helps make this event sustainable! Bring an extra trash bag and we'll collect the feathers together!

FAQ:
Q: who puts on this event? What organization is behind it?
A: YOU put on this event! It's a totally ad-hoc fun time created by people in the community :)

Q: Is it safe? Does anyone get hurt?
A: In the nearly 10 years I've been going I've never gotten hurt or seen anyone really hurt. I lost my phone twice though, and people called me later and returned it! <3

Q: How long does it go till?
A: Since there's no organization behind it, this just depends on how long people wanna smack each other with pillows. When the turnout is large, it can go for hours! It is highly recommended to arrive right before 6pm, as that's when there is the most people.

Q: Is it near transportation?
A: Yep! Right next to the ferry building in SF, Embarcadero Plaza BART, 2 blocks from 14, 49 bus, F, N, J lines etc.! and of course very close to the Bay Bridge and 280 exit
