O-kay. So we did just have a weekend.
But, lots of us are now thinking about Christmas shopping. And besides, what’s coming up in San Francisco next weekend should be enough to cure anyone’s case of “the Mondays”!

San Francisco Bazaar has evolved into something brand-new. Next Saturday and Sunday, November 7th and 8th, they’re premiering “Urban Epicurean Festival, a Festival of Food, Drink and Design“, at Fort Mason. (But it’s much easier to call it Urban Epic Fest!)
Urban Epic Fest will feature some of the best Bay Area artisan food crafters and vintners. They’ll also still include a wide range of great “makers” and artists. In addition, though, they’re going to have a series of hands-on workshops, including succulent terrarium creation, gardening and beekeeping.
San Francisco Bazaar co-founder Jamie Chan is the director of Urban Epic Fest, as well as an arts entrepreneur in her own right. (She’s the proprietor of fiber arts boutique Urban Fauna Studio.) She talked about her background as an artist, her experiences makng San Francisco Bazaar a reality and how she decided to develop the popular crafts show into Urban Epic Fest. And, she offered a preview of what visitors will see at Fort Mason when they visit the first-ever Urban Epic Fest, next weekend!
Urban Epic Festival happens Saturday and Sunday, November 7th and 8th, 11:30 am to 6:30 pm at Fort Mason Center’s Festival Pavilion, 2 Marina Boulevard. Admission is free.
