Just when you thought it was safe to stash your party outfits and take it easy, festival season continues this week with Identity Festival, one of the biggest electronic music bashes of the year. The Street Food Festival brings a list of culinary all stars to the Mission District and the Stern Grove Festival welcomes the San Francisco Opera. Indie Mart celebrates its five-year anniversary at Thee Parkside and the neighbors at Alamo Square air out their used goods and artisan items at the 29th Annual Alamo Square Flea Market. Union Square is the spot for a Bhangra Flash Mob and a free performance from Jazz Mafia and New Orleans legend Dr. John returns for two nights at The Independent.
