Celebrate the 80th anniversary of the discovery of LSD by joining friends in the annual tradition of dressing ecstatically and riding bicycles through Golden Gate Park. It will be an immersive day of revelry, shenanigans, poetry, music, and magic for all. Meet at Hippie Hill at Noon (sharp!). Bring everything you need for a long bicycle journey. Parade ends at the Music Concourse at 530-ish PM. There will be a special surprise, so plan to be outside til after the sun goes down!
Follow the Rainbow Top Hat. Expect it to change heads. Weather in SF can change on a dime and you will be out til after dark. Bring layers. Golden Gate park has hills on hills on hills. There are bathrooms along the route. And water fill stations. If you are a person who gets hungry, bring provisions for the picnic. Leave no trace. You can never go wrong with bubbles, puppets, instruments, or tea. While we do our best to avoid traffic, there are a few points where cars are simply unavoidable. Critical mass works best for moving through busy intersections. Stick together! Some instances of off-trail mountain biking might spontaneously occur.
If you enjoy music, poetry, and shenanigans, then bring it on! You are the show.
We will not return til 530ish PM, ending at the Music Concourse, where there will be a special surprise. Plan to be outside until well after the sun goes down.
