Eco-Urban Festival
Saturday, June 6, & Sunday, June 7, 2009
10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
Union Street ~ Gough to Steiner
San Francisco, CA
In its 33rd year, The Union Street Festival is one of San Francisco’s largest free annual events. In 2008 we added an eco-zone to the event where we reserved two blocks of the six block Festival for green exhibitors, businesses and educational displays.
This year the east entrance of the Festival, (beginning at Gough) will again feature arts and crafts created with recycled and sustainable materials and eco-friendly exhibits. Additionally, the Festival showcases 150 arts & crafts booths, 25 gourmet food booths, two stages of live entertainment and bistro style cafes.
San Francisco is a forward thinking city and the Union Street Festival with its eco-urban theme helps promote the value of Green thinking in all aspects of our day to day lives.
The Festival is held on San Francisco’s fashionable Union Street where historic Victorians have been transformed into popular boutiques, art galleries and restaurants. Over 100 staff members are on-site to assist exhibitors and the public. Parking is available three blocks from the event site.
