Are you ready for the Haight Ashbury Street Fair?
For those of you who do things like make weekend plans, we feel that now's the time to tell you that this coming Sunday, June 9 is the 36th annual Haight Ashbury Street Fair. If you haven't been, it's worth at least a walk-through. It often looks something like this clip captured by a partygoer last year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGF0eUJSp78 It's also a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating arts, culture and commerce in the Haight. Like most of San Francisco's street fairs it involves lots of merchant tents and those chicken teriyaki guys. Quoth the HASF mission statement: "The Haight-Ashbury Street Fair is a non-profit organization dedicated to preserving the cultural and historical significance of this district by sponsoring the annual community celebration and in supporting community programs that incorporate the neighborhood’s spirit of diversity, cooperation and humanism." This year's winning poster is by Casey Castille, as below:
Festivities are officially from 11 AM to 5:30. If you have a car, we recommend parking early and parking well. Fortify yourself with sunscreen and those big goofy headphones you were saving for lounging about in, and maybe an extra beer or three.
See you out there, kids.
