About Haight Ashbury Street Fair

The Haight-Ashbury Street Fair (HASF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to celebrating the cultural history and diversity of one of San Francisco’s most internationally celebrated neighborhoods – The Haight-Ashbury. For the last 33 years, HASF has produced the annual street fair that features arts and crafts, food booths, two musical stages and more. It also serves as a means for community groups, artisans and mercantile vendors to interact with the public and expand their base. The street fair was developed in response to the re-birth of the economic and residential spirit of the community in the mid-1970’s. With the assistance of the late San Francisco Supervisor Harvey Milk, the first openly Gay supervisor, a group of neighborhood merchants, activists and residents developed the idea of producing a day long community event. The first Haight-Ashbury Street Fair was held on April 30, 1978, to the fanfare of the neighborhood and the City. Since then, the street fair has become a San Francisco cultural event. The two stages – Main Stage and Masonic Stage – host 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. These stages have also served to showcase for up-and-coming artists and community musical groups and will continue to do so.
