THE 29th ANNUAL HAIGHT ASHBURY STREET FAIR,
June 11, 2006.
It's hard to believe it's been 29 years since the first Haight Ashbury
Street Fair. I think I was at the first or second one. I can't remember. But I do know that I was at this one today.
So here are some photos. And hey, I went just for fun, so don't trip off the the lack of informative captions.
This is the poster of the day's event.
Murio's is a long-time Haight Ashbury bar.
Peace back to you!

The grand finale of the fair was a performance by the band Flipper.
