SF Events: Spring Festival Roundup

April 3, 2015

Spring has sprung and it’s that spring festival time of year once again.

Here at SFhotlist, we’re sharing the best of the best spring festivals from the North Beach Festival (San Francisco’s first festival) to newer kids on the block like the How Weird Street Fair and the Asian Heritage Street Celebration.

If you’re anything but new to San Francisco, you’ll know these SF events are local favorites. The spring festival season offers live music, street vendors, a fun and casual chance to enjoy your friends, delicious local foods, and the opportunity to hang out in a new neighborhood or meet people from San Francisco’s diverse communities.

Each celebration offers a unique point of view and its own twist on how to have fun in the sun (or fog).

So get out your calendars and find out which festivals are right for you.
