:: Fillmore Street Fest ::

The annual Fillmore Street festival is always one of my favorite street festivals here in the city by the bay. Fillmore street has a long, rich, vibrant music history that stretches all the way back to WWII… so many famous people have graced this street with their presence and influence.

Today it is lined with over 200 businesses and each year around this time the city blocks off about 12 blocks along the upper Fillmore area to celebrate different music styles, the arts, and of course food and drinks. Last year I missed it, so this year I made sure I cruised by there and took in some scenery, sounds of brass and good ol’ BBQ on a stiiiiiiiiiiiik.
