More than 60,000 people attended Slow Food Nation over Labor Day weekend 2008 in San Francisco, to show their support for a good, clean and fair food system! The event offered an extraordinary range of activities highlighting the connection between plate and planet.

Locals and visitors alike savored tastes from all over America at the Taste Pavilions, met farmers and food producers at a marketplace of local produce and goods, explored the 10,000 square foot newly-planted urban garden in front of City Hall, and heard from visionary speakers including who shared their vision for a new food system in this country.

Participants also endorsed the Declaration for Healthy Food and Agriculture, which was unveiled at City Hall on the eve of Slow Food Nation and will provide a clear and commonly held framework for future citizens and policy makers.

For those of you who were able to join us in San Francisco, please share your stories and photos online with us at the Slow Food USA Blog.
