Intersection of Castro and Market Streets
San Francisco, CA 94114

Free admission but donations strongly encouraged
Sunday, October 7th from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Founded in 1974 by Harvey Milk, California's first openly gay politician elected to public office, the Castro Street Fair is San Francisco's most popular LGBT festival. The fair is always the first Sunday in October and is held in the Castro District of San Francisco, centered around the intersection of Market and Castro Streets. The first fair attracted 5,000 visitors and last year's garnered over 50,000 attendees and raised $85,000 for local non-profits.
The annual Castro Street Fair encompasses the standard street-fair fare of live music, street food and art booths, but does so with a special kind of kinky San Franciscan flair. While remaining a bit tamer than other more risqué San Francisco LGBT street fairs like the Folsom Street or Dore Alley Fairs, the vibe at Castro is somewhat more family-friendly. However, discretion is still advised.
