2 days agoTwo favorite SF festivals return to the streets this June.
Union Street Festival and North Beach Festival bring live music, food, vendors, and family activities to San Francisco neighborhoods in June.
City staff recently told us that we cannot have the Telegraph Holiday Fair or the Juneteenth Festival at their usual locations because of the fire code's 26-foot rule, which says streets with buildings more than 30 feet high must have at least 26 feet of clear roadway to accommodate emergency vehicles. Berkeley's Juneteenth Festival and a popular holiday market on Telegraph Avenue must move from their longtime homes, as the city mulls big fee increases and steps up fire code enforcement.
