A visit to...the Outside Lands

Outside Lands was the name used in the 19th century for the present-day Sunset District in San Francisco, California. With few roads and no public transportation, the area was covered by sand dunes and was considered inaccessible and uninhabitable. Today, after extensive development, the area is home to Golden Gate Park and Ocean Beach.

More Importantly, what is planned to go down Aug 22, 23, and 24th. A music and arts festival that will include over 60 bands.

This is the first year this will be going on, and it should be an event to remember
