12th Annual How Weird Street Fair

"Nine city blocks filled with eight stages of world-class electronic music, art and performances, vendors from around the world, tasty food and drinks, and all the colorful weirdness that San Francisco is famous for. All ages are welcome, and costumes are highly encouraged. There is a requested donation of $10 for the faire, which buys a Magic Sticker that is potentially worth many times more, with discounts at the faire bars and after-parties, as well as specials at many of the vendors."
