The American bison herd in Golden Gate Park has been an iconic feature since 1892, and each April, they star in the 'Running of the Bison'. This lively event draws substantial crowds who run alongside the bison as they traverse the city’s streets from the Ferry Building to Civic Center. Attendees can enjoy free entry to the accompanying 'Full of Bull' Festival, provided they bring a bison patty as proof of participation in the city's street-cleaning efforts. Safety tips and event details are advised for potential participants and watchers alike.
Visitors to Golden Gate Park are often astounded to stumble upon a herd of American bison browsing in a meadow in the park's western end.
Always the first Tuesday in April, the Bison make the long trip from Golden Gate Park to the Ferry Building and march to Civic Center for the annual "Full of Bull" Festival.
Watch out for steaming bull crap, as the annual 'Running of the Bison' attracts 1,000 San Franciscans running alongside the animals.
Funcheap tip: Free admission to the festival is granted by showing one bison patty at the entrance, proving you helped keep the city's streets clean.
