The Electronic Music Festival returns with five nights of performances at venues throughout the city and Burners can keep the Playa spark alive with After Burn. The 120 Minutes party celebrates its two-year anniversary with Mascara and oOoOO and the Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival is back for its 17th year with two days of sweets, live music and chef demonstrations. Union Square's top shopping destinations host pop-up fashion shows and offer special deals for Fashion's Night Out and Workshop hosts a Sunday Streets Block Party with Chicken and Waffles, drinks and other tasty edibles. Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros are back in action outside at the Greek Theater and Devo and Blondie team up for a dance party at The Warfield.
