Street artists selling crafts in Victoria Park by Ghirardelli Square

About This Item

KPIX-TV news footage from May 9 1971 with reporter Christopher Chow featuring brief scenes of street artists selling crafts in Victoria Park by Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco. Chow provides a voice-over summary of recent developments in the street artists attempts to secure "peddling permits" in the city following the current moratorium declared by Mayor Alioto. They've made an arrangement with the Angel Island State Park rangers to make pitches in Victoria Park, hoping this will serve as a positive blueprint for any future agreements with the city. Opening graphic designed by Carrie Hawks.
