Come celebrate peace, creativity, and the start to the 2018 festival season!

With 10 stages of cutting-edge electronic dance music! Inspiring live and exhibited artwork on Art Alley! Local arts and craft vending and yummy food!

Vendors from around the world with unique goods! An educational celebration of cannabis culture on Green Alley! And thousands of people in colorful costumes dancing in the streets!In the not too far away future, we shall harken back to a simpler time, a funkier time, a more colorful time. It was a time of bellbottoms and big collars. A time of big cars and bigger hair. A time when lava lamps lit the land, and rocks were pets. Remember when fun was really fun? The Disco Ball Inferno - a powerful theme based on a true story. The greatest story ever danced!

ART ALLEY

Art Alley will shine once again with the abundance of creativity that the San Francisco Bay Area is famous for. There will be live and exhibited artwork in a rustic urban setting. Be inspired by the wonders. There will also be local arts and crafts vendors, and ambient music from local legends SomaFM.

HOW WEIRD MARKETPLACE

There will be unique and exciting vendors from around the world selling designer goods, clothing, jewelry, art, food, and drinks. Come find new things for the 2018 festival season. From the weird to the wonderful, you can find it all. Plus each vendor and bar will be offering specials that come with Magic Pass!

GREEN ALLEY

Green Alley will be filled with cannabis-related booths, educational talks, seminars, and groovy downtempo music. Come learn and be delighted by the evolution of cannabis culture. There will be no sales of cannabis at the faire.

ENTRANCES

Less waiting, more fun! We will be introducing many changes to reduce the wait time at arrival, and will be adding a 4th entrance this year. The entrances will be at…
Howard & New Montgomery Streets
Howard & First Streets
Second & Folsom Streets
Second & Mission Streets

We strongly recommend taking public transportation to the faire. We are very close to MUNI, BART, regional bus, and Caltrain stops. The faire is a short walk from Montgomery and Market Streets. It can be hard to find parking near the faire, many new building have gone up recently.

MAGIC PASSES

The entrance pass will cost $20 at the door.
The cost of presale passes are $15.

This year the Magic Pass is required for entry to the faire. In the past, the entrance has been a sliding scale donation. We are working with the city to increase security and help control the crowds, while making the faire experience better for everyone. The neighborhood has changed a lot since we moved there, and we are grateful to be there. The passes will still be Magical. There will be specials at all the faire vendors and bars, including discounts and fun activities and free things. We recommend getting the presale Magic Passes to save money and time when you arrive, and to show your early support.

The How Weird Street Faire is a project of the nonprofit World Peace Through Technology Organization, showing the world that peace is possible. The faire brings diverse people together to make connections and find common ground. Dancing knows no boundaries or political affiliation, and music, more than any other form of communication, is able to transcend differences between people. Come see how fun peace can be! And keep on dancing!

The Fantastic Towering Disco Ball and the Far Out Funky Inferno.
Can You Dig It? It’s Out of Sight!

What the critics are saying…
“Shocking and thought provoking, with a funky beat.”
“A heartwarming and loud action-filled romp by the Bay.”
“Compelling. Riveting. Unforgetable.”
“One word: It’s time to boogie!”
“Nanu nanu indeed!”

This faire is dedicated to all the generations of people that have danced, and taken their dance to the weird level.
