The Hippie Movement-Haight Ashbury

The Haight Ashbury District also known as “The Haight and The Upper Haight” is a San Francisco neighborhood that was made famous by the hippie movement. In 1965 and 1966 the Hippies took over the district, this is where they lived and dispersed their psychedelic theme all over the whole area. Within the Haight Ashbury District there were two parks, Golden Gate Park and Buena Vista Park which was famous for having festivals (Summer of Love) this is what made hippie culture popular.
