With all the food, style, and nip happening this weekend—how will we ever fit it into just two days?
#FREETHENIPPLE
International “Go Topless” Day Celebration
What: It’s International “Go Topless” Day, a celebration and protest demanding equal topless rights for all, started by a hedonistic UFO religious group called the Raelians. Because really, why is it okay for men, but not for women, to be topless wherever and whenever? Do you dare to go bare? Even with the nudity ban in place, being topless is not illegal in San Francisco.
When: Get your boob and man-boob fill August 23.
Where: At (of course) Dolores Park at 2pm.
STYLE ON A DIME
What: Etsy comes to life with over 30 local artisans in the spacious courtyard of All Good Pizza in the Bayview. Come out, shop local, and eat delicious pizza (for purchase) from 11am to 5pm on Sunday, August 23. Amelia from GoGo Craft will host a free DIY Bow Tie Workshop.
When: You'll want to be there August 23rd - It's an all day occasion.
Where: All Good Pizza at 1605 Jerrold Ave.

TOO CUTE TO PASS UP
