Get a free Bay Guardian vintage logo tee at our Oct. 20 Fall Fling!

Celebrate 8 years of independent media (and look cool doing it) at our El Rio patio party.

We’ve got three boxes full of Bay Guardian vintage logo tees to give away at our 8th anniversary Fall Fling outdoor patio party, 6pm-9pm, at El Rio at 3158 Mission, SF. Come support our mission to save independent media and celebrate with us! We’ll have special guest speakers including Tom Ammiano, light bites from Camille’s Confections, and some great classic soul music from the Sweater Funk DJs. (Masks and vax proof required, please.)

Tickets are $20 at the door or donate here (free for already contributing monthly members and equivalent donors). This is our annual fundraiser since we were unable to have our Spring Gala these past two years—we need your support to keep going, and we want to party with our community!

Doors open at 6pm, program at 7, so get there early and let’s celebrate.
