My San Francisco Life

Woodstock in the Park

San Francisco will never leave you wanting more music.  One of the best remnants of the hippie era is the City’s love of music.  Outdoor, indoor, local, international – we love it all.  Throughout the summer there is the festival season, which we all love, but there is also a plethora of outdoor concerts, most of which are free.  And what’s awesome is that they go well beyond the summer months.  What other city is this great?  Tell me that.  This coming weekend is no different.  In honor of Woodstock’s 40th anniversary, they will be playing a free tribute concert called “West Fest” on Sunday in Speedway Meadows of Golden Gate Park.  Blog - West Fest - 10.21.09The massive span of lawn is the perfect venue for a concert.  Gorgeous views of every type of foliage and tree, completely blocked from the City, and lots of space… lovely.  Every type of person gathers for these events, so it’s sure to be energetic, fun, and colorful!  Many of the original musicians will be involved in the show, too, including Ray Manzarek  of The Doors and Denny Laine of Moody Blues.  How cool!  And it’s FREE people!  I consider the many, many things to do for free in San Francisco as part of my rent.  It makes me feel ok spending so much, since really, I’m getting so much free of charge, and in my case, since I’m a block from the popular concert spot that is Speedway Meadows, I’m in the perfect locale to enjoy it with ease.  Lucky me.  West Fest lasts all day starting at 9am, but getting there early will be best if you have to park.  Try to take public transit though – better for everyone’s sanity.  Enjoy – it’s on of the last ones for the season, so take it all in!

Peace and love Xo
