Plans? Well, a plan anyway...

Not sure about Friday or Saturday night, but Saturday day is Junkstock at Golden Gate Park, Marx Meadow (which is across the road from where Fog Faire has been, and where the Rooster Stage is at Hardly Strictly Bluegrass, as I recall).


The Junkstock kick off party and event will be held on July 25th from 11am-5pm in Golden Gate Park, at Marx Meadow. Junkstock is an absolutely FREE, family friendly event. Adults and kids can learn how to make a kazoo, sing a song, and more!

We will feature an acoustic stage with some of the Bay Area’s premier performers encompassing the vision that instruments, composition and performance come from, sometimes, unexpected places. Here's the schedule:

Noon – Just Henry
12:30 – Reverend and Missus McCubbin
1:00 – The Goat Family
2:00 – Liquor Cake
2:30 – Drew Piston
3:00 – Aesthetic Cling
3:30 – 5 Cent Coffee
4:00 – Vagabondage
4:30 – One Man Banjo
5:00 - Jam


The day will include scheduled workshops—take things out of your recycle bin and make your own instruments or make household or hardware store items sing (or clank whatever the case may be)!
