SF Aloha Poly Fest

Attending the San Francisco Aloha Festival last week, which is now held in the San Mateo Fairgrounds, a vendor informed us about this event happening this weekend in Golden Gate Park.
Wanting to purchase something from last week’s event, I came here to get more for a friend. With the Outer Lands concert this weekend, I feared that parking would be a nightmare so I took a chance by stopping at the public parking lot on 7^th Avenue near Irving and scored a space with a broken meter (life is good!). Walking about three blocks to the SF County Fair Building, I heard the island music filling the air while entering the park. This is a small event, not surprising considering its only the 2^nd annual one. There are only two food vendors in the courtyard area, a local non-​profit serving plates and snacks and a shave ice stand to the right. Entering the building, there is a small performance area to the far left with chairs and a variety of mostly t-​shirts and snack vendors in the hall. While waiting for my purchase, I picked up a chili and rice bowl for breakfast (note: it is homemade chili made with a nice twist); there are plate lunches and musubis available too.
Think of this as the Aloha Festival’s little ‘bruddah’. If you are in the neighborhood or have some time, stop by and check this out. Nice to have a Hawaiian/​Polynesian event actually in the City!
