Heart of the City Farmers Market
They say that the key to a person’s heart is through his or her stomach. This is particularly true in our beautiful Bay Area. The Heart of the City Farmers Market, located at San Fran’s United Nations Plaza between 7th Street and 8th Street, has been a northern California tradition since 1981. The event occurs two days a week, and it’s year-round. Visit on Sundays between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m. and Wednesdays between 7 a.m and 5:30 p.m.…no matter the weather!
Owl City at The Regency Ballroom
“’Cause I get a thousand hugs from ten million lightening bugs,” sings multi-instrumentalist Adam Young of the luminous Owl City who is about to begin the On The Verge Tour. Songs such as “Fireflies,” mentioned above, or “Vanilla Twilight” tug at the heartstrings of teenage girls everywhere, but they aren’t the only listeners who adore Owl City. This American electronica music can be heard at noisy college parties, your local shopping mall, and everywhere in between… and beyond!
