How Weird is the Annual How Weird Street Fair

how weird is the how weird street fair?
If you've been in San Francisco this week in the last 16 years, you might have noticed the streets of downtown closed off  to cars and packed full of weirdos. So what could warrant shutting down all business besides bars in this area?

What is the How Weird Street Fair?

Thousands of people from all over the world come to celebrate peace, music, and art. How Weird is a menagerie of attractions, including a world renowned music festival featuring 10 stages of different styles of dance music, an open air art festival filling an expanded Art Alley, a unique market of interesting vendors and delicious food, and a platform for performers of every type. 

When and Where?

Located in the SOMA district of San Francisco on Howard and Second street. The fair is from Noon to 8pm.

How much is it?

Its donation based! By donating $20 you receive a magic sticker. The magic of the sticker is the subsequent discounts you'll receive like $2 off alcoholic drinks at the bars, a free healing crystal at the vendor Light Sound Dimensions, or a free answer to a spiritual awakening question.  

How to get there?

There are three main entrances:
Howard and 1st Streets
Howard and New Montgomery Streets
Mission and 2nd Streets

How Weird asks that participants come as themselves decked out in costumes reflecting and exaggerating their unique identity. Participants often paint their bodies and faces, wear masks, wigs, or sometimes nothing at all. ;)

Who Attends?

Just bring your dance moves and some cash for toys and beer. There are ATMs but who wants to pay those outrageous fees?
