SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — Thousands of music lovers packed the streets Saturday for San Francisco’s iconic Fillmore Jazz Festival.
“I love all the bands,” said Sheryl Pearson, a Fairfield resident. “The bands are good, the food is good, the clothing is good. They got a lot of stuff for you to buy, and I love it.
Saturday marked day one of the two-day free event, spanning 12 blocks and featuring multiple stages.
“Fillmore District. It’s just what it stands for, said San Francisco resident Renita Mason. “You know, jazz, African American art, the culture here, and so it’s just a tradition for us. We come every year.”
