From beaches to balmy weather, it's hard to imagine that there's ever a bad day on the west coast—but fog is such a common occurrence in the San Francisco area, there's one California music festival that pays tribute to it. The San Francisco Fog Music Festival 2015 hosted by Second Act features over 20 artists with light and sound presentations on their artistic interpretations of what fog looks and sounds like. As far as what you can expect from this year's lineup, there's groups that will come together to create ambient music, as well as solo artists who will do their thing with a guitar.
Although fog is known to be somewhat of a disturbance to the Sunshine State, often driving vacationers away, in this case fog has the opposite effect.
