@sfgate: In Alameda, 3,400 attendees and 70 vendors gathered around Webster Street to celebrate the its 9th annual Witchfest. ⠀ A 5-foot python, an opera singer, belly dancers and a parking lot full of witches were among the attractions at the festival, where visitors browsed crystals, spell jars and miniature coffins. ⠀ ✍️ By Jessie Fisher, Social Media Producer
