The San Francisco Ferry Building was completed in 1898. That means it survived the 1906 Earthquake and the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. It is a long standing historic landmark in the San Francisco Bay Area. At one point it was the main form of transportation in and out of the Peninsula. This was the days before cars and before the Golden Gate bridge or Bay Bridge had been completed. It had about 50,000 passengers a day! That was the 2nd busiest terminal in the world at the time!
In 2004 the Ferry Building reopened as the well known San Francisco Gourmet Market and home of the Farmers Market.

It’s that time of year again guys!
I’ll be there, you should be too!
For more info visit the official website here.
As always Michael Franti will be playing, and Spearhead and Ziggy Marley.
This will take place Saturday the 6th all day in Golden Gate Park.
I suggest taking a bus there. The buses will be packed but driving and parking will be insane as well.
Here is a picture of me and some friends last year!
