San Francisco’s annual rite of spring parades thru the Financial District in a light-hearted mock of business. Free and open the public this sidewalk parade hops, skips and giggles with drums, noise makers and goofy signage.
Bring pennies to toss at the Bankers Heart and socks for the traditional Sock Exchange. Fun for the whole family. Rain and/or shine.
Brought to you by the First Church of the Last Laugh, the world’s fastest growing ‘snack’ religion, one holy day a year, and April First is it.
