The actual beginning of this "Summer" can be attributed to the Human Be-In that took place in Golden Gate Park on January 14 of that year. Jerry Rubin , Timothy Leary , Allen Ginsberg , and Jefferson Airplane all participated in the event, a celebration of hippie culture and values. John Phillips of The Mamas And The Papas took twenty minutes to write the following lyrics for the song ''San Francisco'': If you're going to San Francisco, The song was designed originally to promote the upcoming Monterey Pop Festival , in June. Scott McKenzie 's cover of the song was released in May 1967. Later that summer, thousands of young people from around the nation flocked to the Haight-Ashbury district of the city to join in a popularized version of the hippie experience. The phrase "Summer of Love" (or, more accurately, the " Second Summer Of Love ") is sometimes used (particularly in the UK) to refer to the summer of 1988 and the rise of Acid House music and Rave Culture .
