SEE EVENT DETAILS
at National Aids Memorial Grove
(see times)
Come enjoy the sun, music, flora, and friends in the beautiful National AIDS Memorial Grove. This event is open to all flow artists – fanning, flagging, poi, staff, and their supporters. Flags available for use or just relax, take in the fun dance music and colorful visuals. Bring a beverage, a lunch, something to sit on, and enjoy.
Music by: Warren Gluck – For over 39 years Warren Gluck has been delighting dance floors with a varied and diverse style that has earned him a devoted international fan base and universal respect from his peers. He was a regular for The Saint and Monster and helped to form the circuit’s musical definition. He has played just about every major circuit event in the country including Real Bad, and ReUnion City Hall. He has been playing in Fire Island for over 36 years where he has residency at The Blue Whale and the Pavilion. Warren’s musical style is usually characterized as being upbeat and festive, with an accent on big vocals. Comfortable with many different musical styles, morning music is his personal favorite! Warren is keen on playing for FITP, a flagger himself, he looks forward to playing a beautiful journey to set the stage for all to enjoy.
Our beneficiary: National AIDS Memorial Grove – is a dedicated space in the national landscape where millions of Americans touched directly or indirectly by AIDS can gather to heal, hope, and remember. For all the promising prospects on the horizon, AIDS continues to invade our lives, violate our past, and rob us of our comfortable assumptions about the future. The sacred ground of this living memorial honors all who have confronted this tragic pandemic both those who have died and those who have shared their struggle, kept the vigils, and supported each other during the final hours.
Where to go: National AIDS Memorial Grove - Taking public transportation is encouraged, finding a place for your car can be challenging. Never been there: pair up with someone who has been there; if you drive – go early for better parking, map here. Walking directions from 2nd and Irving (N-Judah). Walking directions from 9th and Judah (Bus #6, #43, and N-Judah). Walking directions from Stanyan and Hayes (Bus #21, #5). Walking directions from Haight and Stanyan (Bus #33, #7, #71).
About FITP: In 1997 a group of San Francisco flaggers started a tradition of celebrating life by gathering in the newly dedicated National AIDS Memorial Grove. Here we are seventeen years later; the DJs, organizers, and participants are donating their time, energy and love to help raise money for mostly local (sometimes national) non-profits.
