I went to the Hardly Strickly Bluegrass Festival in Golden Gate Park over the weekend. It is something that I do every year. The Festival was started in 2001 by venture capitalist Warren Hellman. When Hellman passed in 2011, he left a trust to keep the festival free and noncommercial free.
I only go on Friday as the weekend crowds are a little bit much for me (upwards of 500,000) and I was walking around and seeing the spirit of the festival:
And the music performances were amazing:
