"Deadheads from around the Bay Area and, in all likelihood, well beyond will gather this weekend in honor of the life and music of Bobby Weir in San Francisco. The free public memorial for the Grateful Dead co-founder whose music, spirit and humanity shaped generations, according to a post about the event on the artist's Facebook page is set for 12:45 p.m. Saturday at Civic Center Plaza."
"Weir, a San Francisco native who long called Marin County home, died on Jan. 10 after battling cancer and finally succumbing to lung complications. He was 78. Together, we will pay tribute in the community and collective heartbeat that he created, the post reads. A short sacred stop on his homecoming journey, the gathering will center on gratitude, remembrance, and togetherness, along with special tributes to honor Bobby."
