On April 29,1978, the first Haight-Ashbury Street Fair was held to celebrate of the re-emergence of The Haight. The primary focus of this event was to draw an awareness & appreciation to the cultural, political & social contributions this neighborhood provided to the American landscape during the 1960's.
But it was also to proclaim that after a dark economic & social downturn following "The Summer of Love", the community had been able to rebound stronger than ever.
