Erykah Badu and Talib Kweli fueled the energy of Haight Street today. They spun the ones&twos on opposite ends of the block as the rest of us danced with no cares on the middle of the street.

Haight Street hosted their inaugural “Music & Merchant” street festival today and like Hiero Day, people from all over the Bay gathered for this free jammin’-ful event.

Good music provided by legendary artists was definitely the highlight of the day; They filled the neighborhood with grooving tunes of Michael Jackson to the head-bobbing of… well, their own music haha.

But, as any day spent on Haight, art surrounded Celestine and I.

Lower and Upper Haight, thank you for your hospitable modern-day bohemian ways.
