This is the first K-Pop festival happening in the Bay Area. According to the festival organizer, “there will be trading card tables, vendors selling K-Pop merch, and K-Pop teams performing.” It’s an event organized and meant for K-Pop fans.

Stow Lake
Golden Gate Park
In the middle of the lake is Strawberry Hill island. People can go hiking, take pictures at the Chinese pavilion or Huntington Falls, and check out wildlife. There’s also a boathouse where you can rent a boat to row around the lake. It’s the perfect getaway from city life.
