#SAN FRANCISCO STREET FAIR SEASON




THE warm 90 plus degree weather in San Francisco is just one of the signs of the coming street fair season. The season kicks off in June with the Union Street Fair. The street fair lasts all day long on Saturday and Sunday and includes live entertainment, beer gardens, great art. The artists have high quality orginal paintings, woodcraft, photography, jewelry and much much more. The whole Marina District turns into a cross between a concert, street, fair, and a large scale frat party. The streets are packed with the smell of food being roasted outside and beautiful 20 to 30 year old females strolling through the artist stalls whether you like art or not the scenery is great and you might meet your future wife there.
The prices are a little pricy at this street fair but the quality is good and an ideal place to purchase early Christmas gifts that you will not find at Union Square, Walmart, or Target. The jewelry venders are artists and provide orginal works that you will only find in San Francisco.
The Union Street Street Fair has been a fixture in San Francisco for over 25 years and the entertainment is fantastic. Whether you like country music, R/B, blues, or rap it is all compacted within a 20 block area.
Take a taxi as parking is not very sparce.


The Street Fair Scene in San Francisco includes The North Beach Street Fair which includes alot of great blues and other types of music. Washington Park is transferred from a city park to a Art Gallery. Grant Street is one big blues club and the Italian Food and Ice Cream provided is killer.


The Fillmore Jazz Festival is somehow featured in the middle of Street Fair Season and you can listen to some of the best Jazz in the City for two days along with great wine and adult beverages.
The Haight Street Fair takes on a character of it own. The vendors are alot different than the Union Street Fair and the people vary from hip to gay to people just wanting to do people watching.
The Polk Street Fair is towards the end of summer is a great success every year with great entertainment, food, and outdoor activites.
The Castro Fair is towards the end of summer and is a mixture of gay, straight, transgender, bisexual, and lesbian. The whole area from upper market to outer Castro is one big party.
The final street fair that ends the street fair season is the Folsom Street Fair. The fair is usually held in early September on Saturday and Sunday. The area of Folsom Street and SOMA becomes 15 blocks of leather boys, leather queens, B/D and S/M characters, transgenders, drag queens naked gay boys and men showing their goods. The entertainment is usually hip hop, rap, and dance.
