“Fourteen years ago, experimental musician, artist, and Rainbow Grocery store employee Jeff Ray began the Mission Creek Festival out of his apartment in the Mission. Ray had absolutely no festival experience, but was involved in the SF indie music scene (he's a member of the band Radius and elfin performance ensemble the Extraordinary Forest). That first year was a one-day festival with eight bands and 100 audience members. Now, MCMAF stretches over two weeks with more than 180 bands playing on both sides of the bridge. Tonight's SF opening party features the Bitter Honeys — a cheeky Oakland-based Northern Soul throwback band. Past festivals have attracted on-the-verge talent like Joanna Newsom and Devendra Banhart. See the best of what the Bay has to offer before they blow up.”

Mission Creek Music and Arts Festival says:
For the 14th year in a row, the Bay Area's premier independent music festival continues to present the finest local music and art. Close to a dozen venues, big and small, in Oakland and SF will host the festival from July 8 - 18. Created with the intention to foster community and nurture local arts, MCMAF continues to expand with the inclusion of literary events, art shows, and alternative performances, with notable guest curators to facilitate this evolution. Visual artists, performers, and musicians will again converge at Collision. Defined by the spirit of collaboration, Collision brings together local and international music acts with artists working in sound installation, experimental music, dance, and music based sculpture.
