Festival of the Mandolins

On April 22nd the Croatian American Cultural Center hosts the San Francisco Festival of the Mandolins. For the past 18 years there has been a sit down concert in the afternoon, workshops at noon, good food & drink, and plenty of chances to listen to the best, and most diverse mandolin music in the world. The 1PM concert, will be preceded by workshops at noon. And Bulgarian food by Chef Hristo Kolev will be served up for your enjoyment
