Kicking off the 2002 San Francisco street festival season, the third annual
How Weird Street Faire will take place April 20th, 2002 on Howard Street
between 11th and 12th Streets, San Francisco. The fun lasts from
12:00pm to 7:00pm, sliding scale donation at the gates. The How Weird
Street Faire celebrates San Francisco's creativity, community, and
environmental awareness.
At each end of the How Weird Street Faire are music stages featuring live
acts and world-class DJ's spinning funky sounds for dancing in the
streets. Some of the local acts include Kode IV, Biodegradable,
Waterjuice, and DJ's Vajra, Anon, Adam, KJ, and Lorin. There will also be
speakers, including Craig Newmark of craigslist.org. There will be a
dazzling display of performance artists, including butoh, belly dance,
circus arts, wandering musicians, and elaborately costumed stilt walkers.
Come celebrate April 20th and your individuality in all its weirdness.
The Bizarre Bazaar will provide an international collection of conscious art
and high spirited vendors. Featuring goods found nowhere else, the
eclectic global market will tempt purses and spirits. Magical offerings will
include art, jewelery, Indian handicrafts, hemp wears, bouncy wears,
blown glass, massage, raw foods, Indian foods, and fresh juices. Goods
and gear not found on the beaten path, as well as healing and cosmic
arts.
The How Weird Street Faire will begin and end with a Native American
prayer for peace and unity, with a drum circle to finish. The Street Faire
also provides booths for non-profit organizations and community groups
to network with and inform people of current issues. Environmental
causes will be represented, especially those concerned with hemp
culture and industry.
