In San Francisco we celebrate Valentine's Week - the week of love and friendship - with an annual Nude Valentine Parade. Why nude? Because it's much more interesting and fun that way, and because nudity and love go well together. Furthermore, this is a way to reduce the harm that prudishness does to our society.
The parade starts in the Castro District - once famous as the nation's center of gay love - and ends in the Haight-Ashbury District - where the Summer of Love took place in the year 1967.
We will gather at Jane Warner Plaza (corner of Castro and Market Streets) at noon on Feb 16 (the Saturday following Valentine's Day). We will walk from the plaza to Haight Street, via a mostly level route. The parade ends at Haight and Stanyan Streets. The parade itself takes about an hour, but we have the option to stay until 4pm on the sidewalks along Haight Street. Friendly visitors to the Haight-Ashbury are usually eager to chat and have their pictures taken with public nudists.
The parade is free for anyone to join, to follow, or to watch. Anyone can participate -visitors and locals, all genders, all ages. Any degree of nudity is legal at this event, and many participants will only be wearing shoes.
