SoundSafe to Sponsor the 31st Annual

Haight-Ashbury Street Fair Sunday, June 9, 2009

San Francisco, June 3, 2008 – On Sunday June 9, 2008 the 31st Annual Haight- Ashbury Street Fair will take place on a five block strip of Haight Street located between Masonic Avenue and Stanyon Street at Golden Gate Park. The fair features arts and crafts, food booths, two musical stages, a "children's alley" and more. The event begins at 11am and ends at 5:30pm.



SoundSafe is a 501c3 non-profit group whose mission is to preserve, strengthen, promote, and unite the music community in the San Francisco Bay Area. SoundSafe is dedicated to keeping music alive in San Francisco. This year SoundSafe is proud to be a major sponsor, along with Vitamin Water and Wells Fargo Bank, of the Haight-Ashbury Street Fair.




SoundSafe is pleased to present San Francisco local up-and-coming band, Sugar and Gold at 12 noon on the main stage at Stanyon Street.


The Haight-Ashbury Street Fair was developed in response to the re-birth of the economic and residential spirit of that community in the mid-1970s. With the assistance of the late San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Mil, the first District 5 and openly gay supervisor, a group of neighborhood merchants, activists and residents developed the Haight-Ashbury Street Fair with the idea of sponsoring a day long community celebration. The first fair was held on April 30, 1978 to the fanfare of the neighborhood and The City.




Since the inception, the fair has moved to the second weekend in June where it has become a major San Francisco cultural event. The two stages, The Main Stage and The Masonic Stage, hosts a variety of musical presentations that have featured such bands as The Jefferson Starship/Airplane, The Tubes, Metallica, and Noel Redding (Jimi Hendrix Experience) among others. It is also a showcase for up-and-coming artists and community musical groups.




This year the HASF will be including an area designed for families with children. The Haight-Ashbury Children's Alley will be located on Belvedere Street just off of Haight Street and will host children's activities such as music, games (with prizes), entertainment and other surprises.
