A vegan festival founded by Erika Hazel showcases meat- and dairy-free living with screenings, recreational competitions, and food contests. Chicano Soul Fest highlights Latin soul, Banda performances, Aztec dancers, hip-hop acts, Chicano resistance art, lowrider displays, and tributes to soul musicians. Super Flex: Powered by Alter Egos and Shadow Selves presents contemporary projects including a site-specific radio performance inspired by Golden Star Radio, a sensory tank, and archival government documents. Mill Valley's long-running festival pairs live performances with fine crafts and a children's grove. A Daly City day-long event features DJs and raises funds for the public library. The Folsom Street Fair celebrates leather, bondage, and body-positive public expression.
Erika Hazel, also known as the Bizerkeley Vegan, founded this annual festival to celebrate meat- and dairy-free lifestyles. The week's events include a screening of the food-systems documentary They're Trying to Kill Us, a pickleball tournament, a vegan mac & cheese contest and more. Onstage at last year's Chicano Soul Fest, Sarah La Morena explained how she, an African American woman, was raised by a Mexican family - and then delivered a Banda performance that quickly went viral.
This year's event, titled Super Flex: Powered by Alter Egos and Shadow Selves, features modern artworks like Sholeh Asgary 's sound performance "41 Alleys" - a "site-specific radio project" inspired by Golden Star Radio," the first Chinese-language station on the continent formerly located at 850 Grant Avenue. A sensory tank and archival government documents make up other projects at this dynamic art festival.
