This weekend is full of great events, so if you have time, here’s a few I’d like to mention. As my company’s weekly office meetings take place at St. John Armenian Apostolic Church,I’ve been looking forward to the 65th Armenian Food Festival! It’s open both Saturday the 20th from noon until midnight (dancing with live music starts at 9pm) and Sunday the 21st from noon till 4pm. There’s the food, children’s crafts, entertainment including the Karoun Dance Ensemble plus jewelry and crafts for sale. Did I mention the free admission and parking?

On Sunday, there’s the Fiesta on the Hill up on Cortland Avenue in Bernal Heights. It’s free and open to all, so October 21st from 11am to 6pm make your way up to Cortland Avenue between Bocana and Folsom and have fun. It’s a benefit for the Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center, an organization that provides many services to seniors, youth, housing services and some great community organizing.

The Fiesta (the last of the street fairs for the year, I think) features food, crafts, dancing in the street to live music including Sila and the Afrofunk Experience, Julio Bravo Y Su Orquestra Salsabor, Two Tall Drinks, the Bernal All Stars Brass Mafia , Judea Eden Band, Amy Meyers Band , Go Van Gogh and more!

There’s lots of kids entertainment too, activities, crafts and usually even a petting zoo.

If you’re not familiar with the neighborhood, it’s a great friendly way to get a little favor of the area. Or if you live nearby, come meet your neighbors…
