If you're going to San Francisco...what better way to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Summer of Love than a party in the heart of Golden Gate Park?

----> Learn more about the history of LGBT communities in the late 1960's from the GLBT Historical Society and get introduced to the groundbreaking LGBT performance group, The Cockettes.
----> Discover the chemistry behind psychedelics and their mind-bending effects on the human brain.
----> Make peace (and crafts!) as you create dreamy marbled patterns of your own.
----> Get schooled on scientific breakthroughs of the 1960s, and learn how groundbreaking innovations in space and technology left an indelible mark in the world of science.
----> Turn on, tune in, and drop out with a live psych-rock performance from Night Beats and jam to the vintage sounds of Pysch-rock DJ, Al Lover.
