Yusef Lateef
San Francisco is famous for many things: its parks, fog, the Golden Gate Bridge and its music - to name but a few. Those intending to stay in San Francisco this year could not pick a better time than October, which sees the arrival of the San Francisco Jazz Festival.
Those staying in hostels during the month will be able to visit this prestigious festival, which is an absolute must on the jazz calendar across the world. Originally just a local event, since its creation in 1983 it has expanded into an internationally-renowned sensation that is attended by jazz fans the world over.
Playing at the festival will be a host of jazz stars showcasing the very best the genre has to offer, while new artists will be given the opportunity to perform. The festival has always welcomed the avant-garde, with many performers playing experimental pieces each year.
It lasts for a full two weeks and features performances throughout San Francisco. Among the most eagerly anticipated shows is Yusef Lateef's 90th Birthday Celebration, which will be held at Grace Cathedral.
The festival's organisers, SFJAZZ, are dedicated to the celebration, innovation and distribution of jazz music - as such, the festival features other exciting events aside from musical performances. You can also attend evening events designed for the whole family, as well as film presentations of the genre.
Of course, while you are staying in San Francisco hostels you may well want to see some of the city's main sights. It has a lot to offer, from beautiful architecture dating back to the Victorian period, as well as undulating natural landscapes.
It is home to many parks and beaches, which are not only beautiful but also form part of the Golden Gate National Recreational Area - a group of natural areas that approximately 13 million people visit each year.
Of course, no journey to San Francisco would be complete without a trip to the iconic Golden Gate Bridge - something many view as synonymous with San Francisco itself. It was formerly the longest suspension bridge in the world and is now the second longest in the USA.
October is the ideal time to visit this exciting city - especially for jazz-lovers, the annual festival making it the trip of a lifetime.
Those wanting to stay in San Francisco hostels this year will find no better time than October, which sees the annual Jazz Festival come to the city. People staying in hostels will be able to enjoy classic and avant-garde jazz, as well as experience the exciting city.
