New this year...
FASHION ALLEY - a non-stop fashion runway show throughout the day, on Natoma Street just off 2nd Street, featuring stylistic fashions from top local designers and artists, fashion-related vendors, and a music stage. They will introduce you to the world of conscious fashion.
SHANTI STREET - a healing arts area, also on Natoma Street just off 2nd Street, featuring activites and sounds and holistic vendors.
The MAIN ENTRANCE is at Howard & New Montgomery Streets, near many MUNI lines, and 2 blocks from the Montgomery BART station. That is also where there will be complimentary bike parking thanks to the SF Bicycle Coalition.
There is a requested donation of $10 (or $5 in costume). And with that donation you'll once again receive a Magic Sticker! The Magic Sticker gives you: $1 off drinks at the bars, $2 off the after party, and discounts at many of the vendors. Magic Stickers are only available during the day at the faire entrances.
All proceeds go to the non-profit World Peace Through Technology Organization.

The How Weird Street Faire showcases many diverse genres of electronic music, including Live Electronica, Downtempo, Dubstep, Electro, Breaks, Psytrance, House, Techno, Drum & Bass, World Beat, and too many sub-genres to name! There will be something for everyone. The music stages are produced by collaborations of collectives, representing some of the best in the world.
The How Weird Street Faire uses electronic music to bring many different kinds of people together and create a common bond. We have found that dancing knows no boundaries or political affiliation. Music, more than any other form of communication, is able to transcend differences between people. It is through music and art that peace is always possible.
