August Festivals
Are you sitting at home on your couch watch television
shows, cruising the Internet and thinking “Man I’m so bored?”
Well then, close your laptop, TiVo your favorite shows and
come explore all the festivities and events happening around the San Francisco
Bay Area in August. There are numerous events going on including Outside Lands
in Golden Gate Park, the Origami Festival, and the San
Francisco Chef face off in Union
Square.
CHEF
SF (Aug. 4). For five years this culinary
event has given chefs a chance to compete and show off their skills and for the
public to enjoy a food lover’s paradise. This year will include a cake off! There will be food and drink vendors galore
with the top wines and brews. At the end of the event there will be a cake off
and the top chef will take home a Guittard Chocolate Company gift.
If you are looking for visual art that’s challenging then check
out the Origami-Palooza Festival (Aug. 10) in Japan
Town. Instructional
booths will be set up to show you the proper ways to fold and craft your
origami. One particular booth will learn how to fold paper cranes for the
holidays. At the end there will be a paper airplane-folding contest.
Lastly, Outside Lands (Aug. 9-11) offers three day of all-genre
music in Golden Gate
Park. There are numerous
stages across the park with bands that range from “just moving into the music
scene” to “well-versed professionals” like Paul McCartney, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs
and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Grab your picnic blanket, a ticket and head to Golden Gate Park the second weekend of August to
experience it live!
