That street festival we keep telling you about goes down this Sunday, September 7th, and the good news keeps on coming. 

The producers of the first annual Haight St. Music & Merchants Street Festival announced yesterday that Talib Kweli and DJ Lo Down Loretta Brown (aka Erykah Badu) will both have sets. 

A commenter on the festival's Facebook page asked if the musicians would perform their own songs or just DJ, and the response was: "You are going to have to come and dance on the street to find out!" Challenge accepted.



The musical guests are a bit more diverse than the bands that perform at the Haight Street Fair every year, which will hopefully help celebrate not just the neighborhood's past, but its present day amazingness. 

So far, so good.
