If you’re like us, you love free events filled with San Francisco’s best artists and creators, surrounded by delicious food and drink options, while being completely organized and supported by your neighbors and favorite local small businesses.
Below is your guide to 10 hours of uninterrupted, art, music, and theater-filled fun!
Starting at 12pm on October 17th, we’ll be cruising the Richmond Avenues eating fine foods, drinking fine beverages, listening to great local bands, and of course making art! Then, we’ll head down to Mid Market for a massive theater and music festival.
If you've ever wanted to see Bandaloop dance on the side of a skyscraper, or King Lines ballerinas dance across IKEA, or Mark Farina rock a market, you’re in luck! In fact, if you like excellent drag, circus, theater, Jazz, EDM, stand-up, or burlesque, Saturday evening the 17th is going to satiate your every desire.
There are 50+ performances at 35+ locations within 6 blocks, inside and outside San Francisco’s great theatres, venues, and plazas. I’m getting a ‘Paris J'taime’ vibe from this once-in-a-lifetime event.
