Discover SF -- Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Music Festival Stroll

**A Stop-and-Go Festival Stroll (Sat, Oct 3)** San Francisco's **biggest** free music festival takes over Golden Gate Park the first weekend of October: six stages, 80+ artists, three meadows full of people on blankets. **500k-750k** over 3 days. It's the kind of thing that's much better with company than alone. So let's go together. [https://hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/](https://hardlystrictlybluegrass.com/) **How it works** We first visit the **Dutch Windmill** at the west end of Golden Gate Park, take a relaxed walk east through the park, and enter the festival as one group. Inside, we browse stop-and-go style: stroll along the festival grounds, stop at whatever stage catches our ear, listen for a while, and move on to the next. No schedule to keep, no must-see acts. Just music, people-watching, and good conversation along the way. If a set grabs you and you want to stay, stay. If you find your crowd and head off together, great. That's what we're here for. **When & where** 📍 Meet: Java Beach Cafe 1:45pm **The route (all times approximate, stop-and-go)** ☕ 1:45–2:15 — Catch up at Java Beach Cafe (1396 La Playa St, end of the N-Judah line) 🚶 2:15 — Walk north to the Dutch Windmill, group photo around 2:30 🌳 2:35 — Walk east through the park, through the JFK & 36th Ave gate around 3:00–3:10 🎸 Stop 1 · Rooster Stage (Marx Meadow) · \~3:25–3:55 Elizabeth Cook, Rooster Stage, 3:25–4:15pm. Country with a sharp sense of humor, a great first stop to settle in. 🎤 Stop 2 · Banjo Stage (Hellman Hollow) · \~4:05–4:35 Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, Banjo Stage, 3:50–5:00pm. The main stage and the biggest crowd — we'll listen from the back edge rather than push in. 🪕 Stop 3 · Swan Stage (Lindley Meadow) · \~4:40–4:50 The tail end of AJ Lee & Blue Summit, Swan Stage, 3:50–4:50pm — a Bay Area bluegrass band, our local favorite. 🎶 Stop 4 · Towers of Gold Stage (Lindley Meadow) · \~4:50–5:40 Rilo Kiley, Towers of Gold, 4:50–5:55pm, right next door. Swan and Towers of Gold sit back to back and alternate sets, so Lindley is a good place to end the stroll. 🌅 \~5:45 — Head out through the JFK & Transverse exit before the closing sets 🍜 6:00–6:15 — Optional regroup at Portals of the Past (the white stone colonnade on Lloyd Lake, just outside the Transverse exit), then early dinner nearby for whoever's in **Getting there** From the South Bay: Caltrain to SF, then the N-Judah to the end of the line, or the 5-Fulton to La Playa. Parking near the park on festival weekend is very tough, so transit is strongly recommended. **Bring** The festival has security screening at the entrance. Clear bags move through fastest; small backpacks are fine. No glass. A water bottle, layers (the park gets windy and cool by late afternoon), sunscreen, and a small blanket if you want to sit. Outside food is welcome. **Good to know** The festival itself is free and needs no ticket. Our meetup is free too. Latecomers: if you miss the walk, you're welcome to enjoy the festival on your own and join us for dinner after. Phone signal inside the festival is unreliable, so we can't coordinate once we're in. **Join [TownFlame](http://www.townflame.org/), Make Life Happen.** **Liability Waiver:** Participation in TownFlame events is voluntary and involves social interaction in public spaces.

SF Marina Tour-Panama Pacific Int'l.Exposition of 1915, from Scott St. entrance

**Note:** The subject tour is of one of the great works of architecture, art and art display in history. It was all created in San Francisco's Marina District, all built in only the two years of, 1913 & 1914. The PPIE ran from Feb.1915 to Dec. And then it vanished. Aside from Bernard Maybeck's Palace of Fine Arts, the re-creation of the California Palace of the Legion of Honor.and some remaining statues and sculptures, all we have left are photos, drawings and written descriptions and accounts of what was there in 1915. But the land this was all on is still there and accessible (except for the Doyle Dr. entry ramp area). By combining the land with the eupherma mentioned above we can virtually recreate in our minds eye what was here. So it is not lost if we don't want it to be! The first tours will develop a summary view that will enable more detailed tours come later. Join in this journey into something very special in the worlds of art and architecture. [A link to a video of the PPIE.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RY75exH6Rck) Imagine it's 1915, and you are going to tour the Panama Pacific International Exposition, a San Francisco cultural phenomena. (An idea conceived by Willis Polk in 1891, that eventually had to overcome not only the devastating 1906 Earthquake and Fire, (which made San Franciscans even more determined to have the Exposition), but the start of World War I in Europe. A quarter of million attended opening day and almost twice that many closing day. Imagine how you would spend your day there in 1915. That's what our tour will attempt to do. As we walk a likely route, we would have chosen in 1915. We'll read descriptions of and look at photos of what was along our route. Take a look and do an arm-chair, **\***[self-guided walking tour created by the NPS for the Presidio and GGNRA.](https://npshistory.com/publications/goga/brochures/pan-pacific-expo-1915.pdf) Before the PPIE which the lower part of the Marina District was created for, was a tidal marsh that required pumping Bay mud to fill, including the Marina Green. San Franciscans were very proud and serious about the PPIE. (In 1910 over 4 million$ was raised in a single, two hour, public meeting.) They were making a statement, in letting the world know, that they had successfully survived the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. In fact some very wealthy San Franciscans built mansions in Pacific Hts. just to overlook the PPIE. A way of making their own personal statement that they and the City were back from the ashes and had made an unbelievable recovery. **Chestnut St.** has a large assortment of traditional and avant-guard restaurants.
