The J-POP SUMMIT FESTIVAL is a Japanese pop culture-themed street fair that covers the grounds of Post Street from Webster to Laguna and the Peace Plaza of Japantown, San Francisco. Performances and competitions keep the people at the main stage highly entertained as the streets overflow with people dressed up as anime characters, food trucks, and arts & crafts and anime vendors.
Hosting on the main stage was, Olivia, my beautifully talented seastar (right)
