Power to the Peaceful

We first attended the annual Power to the Peaceful festival back in September 2001. Back then, it was held in Precita Park, and was a relatively small event. We have attended it every year since then. Yesterday's festival was incredible: I estimated at least 20K people packed into Speedway Meadow, in Golden Gate Park. There were two stages, a DJ area, and lots of progressive organizations and vendors. As usual, the event was FREE, but donations were encouraged. Check Flickr for an assortment of pics from the event.

Kudos to Michael Franti and the rest of the organizing committee. We in the Bay Area are blessed to have so many great festivals available on a regular basis.
