Rock Make Street Festival: Sunday, August 24th

Yip-Hip-Hooray! Block party right on. We are super dooper stoked to let you all in on the incredible Rock Make Street Festival happening in front of the shop this upcoming Sunday, beginning around noon. It's all being organized by our incredible, indefatigable shopstress neighbor Helen of Whiz Bang Fabrics, along with Tartufi and the good people at The Bay Bridged and it's all totally free. There's so much to tell you! Take it away, Helen:
The countdown to the Rock Make Street Festival has begun! If the idea of a San Francisco street fair conjures up tired images of funnel cakes, hemp necklaces, and guys playing didgeridoos, prepare to be blown away by the FIFTY amazing independent local designers, artists and craftspeople and TWELVE great indie rock bands at this year's Rock Make event. It's a great chance to get some great bargains on high-end pieces from nationally reknowned artisans while enjoying some great music. It's a free, all ages, totally DIY event and an excellent way to spend a warm Sunday afternoon!
