SF Chron says:
" [....] Take public transit, arrive early, be patient as Job, and
try not to step on anyone's fingers when walking across the lawn to your blanket.
Above it all, the Blue Angels will be buzzing the skies for three straight days,
possibly making as much noise as the banjo pickers at the
Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival
in Golden Gate Park, ..... [....]
11 a.m. to 7 p.m. through the weekend.
[ SATURDAY and SUNDAY]......
[...] The music and the planes are free ....

The Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival is an annual event
that after just six years has become a San Francisco legend.
Bluegrass, country and folk music by the best in the business
is joyfully performed on five stages just off Kennedy Drive in the middle of the park,
all free of charge. .....

Take the N-Judah streetcar, a bicycle or two legs.
Don't drive. Parking is hopeless.

You're invited to bodypaint and get bodypainted for freedom and peace, on Nude Peace Day,
the second Saturday of each October, at Baker Beach, San Francisco.
Adults of all genders and orientations.
Free (BYO).
Please take #29 Muni bus to Baker Beach (either of two stops; ask driver); or bike there; or walk from Geary Blvd. and 25th Ave.
Walk to northern parking lot. Then walk north on beach (toward GG Bridge), thru prude zone and into clothing-optional zone. Follow the cable fence (separating usable beach from protected vegetation) until you see a Leather Pride Flag (bearing red heart, with stripes of black, blue, and white).
If you don't see the flag yet, just enjoy the beach on your own. Look again for flag, or bodypainters, each half-hour, especially near the log stairway.
No reliable time can be guaranteed. We hope to be there by 2PM...
RAIN CANCELS.

Why? Because OUR BODIES SPEAK FOR US:
Beyond mere words, our nakist bodies signify our ideals of human liberation. They represent the genome of the human species, surprisingly similar on every continent. Our semantic nakity conveys messages of hope, and of danger. Our bodies speak for our souls. Our anti-costume calls for freedom now. Our public nakity, open to sun and fog and wind, calls for understanding that our Mother Earth is mortal, and that we must come swiftly to her rescue....
