The 38th annual Haight Ashbury Street Fair will take place this year on Sunday, June 14, from 11 am to 5:30 pm. The first Haight Ashbury Street Fair was held in 1978 when neighborhood residents, merchants, and activists, with our Supervisor, Harvey Milk, planned the celebration to recognize the economic and residential rebirth of the neighborhood in the mid-1970s.
The street fair features arts and crafts, food booths, music stages at Masonic and at Stanyan, a family area (Children’s Alley) on Belvedere, and a forum for community groups, non-profits, and government agencies. Visit HANC at our booth east of Belvedere, on the south side of Haight Street.
This year’s poster was designed by Park Station police officer Elizabeth (Lily) Prelinger, who was a graphic design major in college.
The closing performers for the Stanyan Street Stage will be Barry “The Fish” Melton and Nick Gravenites. Full schedules for both the Masonic and Stanyan stages and much more information about the street fair is available at www.haightashburystreetfair.org.
