Celebrate the legacy of the Grateful Dead with drinks, music, and good vibes on Saturday, August 23
San Francisco has always been a city that marches to the beat of its own drum and few beats have echoed louder through its streets than the music of The Grateful Dead.

A Toast to the Summer of Love
Haight-Ashbury isn't just a neighborhood, it's a symbol of an era. The Summer of Love took place here. Tie-dye, free spirits, and psychedelic rock still pulse through the streets.

Jerry Crawl taps into that energy and adds a social twist, giving attendees a chance to revisit the past while enjoying the present--with a cold drink in hand.
This special event includes stops at some of the neighborhood's favorite bars, including Kezar Pub, O'Reilly's, Murio's Trophy Room, Mary's on Haight, Mad Dog in the Fog, and more. Each bar will offer exclusive drink specials, and all participants will enjoy a mix of fun, funky, and free-spirited activities.
