William McKinley Statue (The Panhandle) | Baker and Fell St., San Francisco, CA

Event Details

​It’s a show and tell, plus a giveaway!

Like second grade, except nobody makes you stand up in front of the class. Bring something you love, that you want other people to admire. A ceramic you made, a rock that might be a meteorite, your grandfather’s harmonica, the world’s third-best belt buckle. Or bring nothing and come check out other people’s treasures!

​Where to find us
The Panhandle, east end, at the McKinley Monument. That’s the 35-foot statue where Baker meets Oak and Fell, you cannot miss it. If you somehow do, look for the table with the big F.

​The shape of the afternoon
10:00 am – blankets down, stuff comes out
10:00 am to 12:00 pm – wander, look, ask people about their things. People love being asked.
12:00 pm – we fold the tablecloth, but you’re welcome to stay and enjoy the park.

​Come for twenty minutes or stay the whole time. Nobody presents, there’s no stage.

​Bring

  • ​Something you want to show people. Made, found, inherited, won, rescued off a curb. Weird and interesting beats expensive.

  • ​A blanket to sit on.

  • ​Your own food/snacks if you want them. No alcohol, it’s a city park.

  • ​A friend who owns something strange, and a strange friend.

​Free drawing! (100% optional)
There’s a free drawing at the table for one of three $30 Bi-Rite gift cards, sponsored by The Frisconian.
