Sunday May 4 (11:11am–5:55pm)
This year, the ninth-annual How Weird Street Faire changes locations and introduces an extensive nighttime component, but retains its very San Francisco commitment to peace, unity, and dance music. Along with an eclectic array of craft, food, and fake-fur hot pants purveyors, this year's event features thumping daytime DJ sets from Burning Man mainstays Space Cowboys and Opulent Temple, chilled-out house grooves from local label Om, and hip-hop-inflected bhangra beats from Surya Dub and Non Stop Bhangra. And when the sun goes down, the DJs whisk their decks into four local clubs, keeping the music spinning and the party going till last call.
