The Yerba Buena Gardens Festival, a series of cultural events showcasing a wide range of music, dance and theater performances, continued on August 20 with “Brazil in the Gardens,” an open air celebration of Brazilian music and composers. The event brought an air of vitality to the grassy hills of the park and enlivened the surrounding area, encouraging passersby to stay a while and listen. The event brought upbeat song and dance to the overcast day and filled the garden with smiling people of all ages. El Tecolote photographer Saidy Lauer was there to capture the moment.
