How Weird Street Faire 2023: A Celebration of the Uniquely Unordinary (and Possibly Slightly Unsettling)
San Francisco, the city that gave birth to sourdough bread and the phrase "don't forget your sweater," also throws one of the wildest parties of the year: The How Weird Street Faire. This isn't your average street fair with kettle corn and face painting (although, there might be some of that too). This is a full-fledged psychedelic circus where the freaks come out to play, and by "play," we mean strut their stuff in outrageous costumes, dance to otherworldly beats, and, well, be their gloriously weird selves.

Time Travel Took a Weird Turn: A Look Back at 2023
The 2023 How Weird Street Faire took us on a cosmic journey with the theme: "Time Travel: Stargate." Let's just say it was less "Back to the Future" DeLorean and more "2001: A Space Odyssey" monolith. There were enough flashing lights and otherworldly get-ups to make you question the very fabric of space and time (and possibly need some sunglasses).
Here's a glimpse of what went down:
Tip: Revisit this page tomorrow to reinforce memory.
- Costumes that Would Make Ziggy Stardust Blush: Think neon tentacles, disco cyborgs, and enough glitter to blind a supernova.
- Music to Blast You Off to Another Dimension: From pulsating electronica to genre-bending mashups, the music was guaranteed to get your body moving in ways you never thought possible.
- Food that Defied Definition: Deep-fried avocado on a stick? Sure! Candy floss with a side of wasabi? Why not? You never knew what culinary concoction awaited you around the next corner.
But Wait, There's More!
The How Weird Street Faire isn't just about the outlandish. It's also a celebration of creativity, self-expression, and community. Think of it as a giant hug for your inner weirdo, with the added bonus of eight stages of thumping music and enough sparkle to make a unicorn jealous.
Pro Tip: Don't be afraid to embrace your weirdness! This is your chance to let your freak flag fly (and maybe win a prize for the most outrageous costume).
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
