)’( — HOME OFF THE PLAYA — )’(
Join the Heavy Petting Zoo art car on Sunday, August 3rd at 7th West in Oakland, for our 4th Annual Home Off The Playa pre-burn rager! We’ll be throwing our signature Free, All-Ages Welcome, Day Party Fundraiser featuring many of the Bay Area’s most beloved DJs and performers. We’ll also be hosting a Free Costume Swap, courtesy of The Unicorners crew.
Come enjoy a full day of dancing outdoors in the sunshine, let your animal wild side out on top of the Heavy Petting Zoo art car, and bring your clean, gently used costume/festival/rave pieces for our Free Costume Swap or just check it out and bring home some new-to-you party treasures!
For the last few years, team HPZ has been so busy hosting monthly CommUnity Building events, we haven’t had a chance to give HPZ the tender love and care she deserves. Unfortunately, HPZ is unable to make the journey to Burning Man this year. Instead, we will be using this fundraiser to help us focus on much-needed maintenance, repairs, and a long-overdue glow up!
