San Francisco's Oktoberfest celebration Friday on Front Street marked the state's first "Entertainment Zone" event.
A recently passed state law allows attendees of a special event to carry their beer and go-to drinks inside a specific area, which in this case is along Front Street between California and Market streets.
Oktoberfest on Front featured Schroeder's, Harrington's Bar & Grill, and Royal Exchange participating in the event hosted by the Downtown SF Partnership.
More than 4,000 are expected to attend the event.
