Beautiful Fall weather? Check. Giants in the World Series? Check. Happy kids (and dogs) in costumes? Double-check. Yup, all the ingredients fell into place for a perfect Harvest Fest this year. It was still just a block party but it packed a lot in, including 2 jumpy houses (complete with stroller gridlock outside), a dunking station, face painting, a petting zoo, live music, free food, and even big name sponsors plugging cars and doling out coupons. Some photos and highlights from the day of fun, festivities and costumes:

Beautiful pics. I wonder why those creepy nude men in the Castro didn't venture over to 24th St. and "hang" out.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad they didn't. They are cowards who only wish to show off for their own sick pleasure.
Noe Valley now looks like a suburb. What a change this neighborhood has gone through over the past 25 years.
ReplyDeleteWhat did it look like before? The Tenderloin?
ReplyDeleteNo it did not look like the Tenderloin; but like a city. Didn't you move to a city & not the suburbs?
ReplyDeleteAt least we had a life; didn't need a plaza to connect with people!!
