Arts + Culture50th Summer of Love gathering finally happening

50th Summer of Love gathering finally happening

Peace in the Park on Sat/23 features loads of music, talks, art, groovy vibes -- and Wavy Gravy, of course.

It’s been a long and winding road to bring a celebration of the 50th Summer of Love to the park — permit kuffufles, safety glitches, and communication frustrations abounded in the cosmic quest to feed the heads. But finally the huge, fifth annual Peace in the Park (Sat/23, 11am-6pm) is gonna be THE ONE — and it even features the valiant Boots Hughston, who tried so many times to make it happen during the actual summer. 

UPDATE: See comment below from the producers: While this celebration fetes the 50th Summer of Love, Peace in the Park is demanding permits for an official celebration, which this is not. Go and celebrate!   

This half-century long-hair blowout (not to be confused with the Human Be-In, which held a peaceful, oddly tech-funded 50th commemoration festival of its own this past January) promises to fulfill everyone’s dreams of spiritual connection, and perhaps a little astral projection, on the Music Concourse. Swing by before Folsom Street Fair and witness a whole different kind of Electric Ladyland.  

Full lineup and info below the poster.
