About Haight-Ashbury

Haight-Ashbury, also called the Haight or the Upper Haight, is a San Francisco district named for the intersection of Haight and Ashbury streets. It surrounds Haight Street, bounded by Stanyan Street and Golden Gate Park on the west, the Golden Gate Park Panhandle on the north and Buena Vista Park to the east. It is known as one of the main centres of the 1960s counterculture: the 1967 Summer of Love has been tied to the neighbourhood ever since, and local bands such as the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane rose to national fame from here.
