Let’s face it, San Francisco has it going on in the events department, between Outside Lands, Treasure Island Music Festival and a host of other creatively motivated endeavors, here’s one more for you thrill seekers who want each day to be different than the next: The Expo for Independent Arts . Ten years running and created by artists, for artists, the Expo is a cultural mecca of all the swirly-headed super stars in  town coming together to support each other and show us what they’ve got. Whether you are looking for hip ideas for your wedding, (jewelry, design, photography, dance, music, lifestyle) or just need a little inspiration to get your own creative wheels turning, you will meet like-minded compatriots here. Enjoy the sunshine (or fog), commune with nature and your sweetie in the majestic Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park. Conjoin your higher minds to catapult you both to a place of pure creative transcendence. This qualifies as an official Hot Date (albeit of the more intellectual, as opposed to carnal variety).

When: On Saturday, Sept. 26, 11 a.m.-6 p.m., the Bay Area’s only grassroots connection fair for independent arts, music & culture comes to the Music Concourse in Golden Gate Park!

What: The Expo is the premiere event for arts-audience development and -community building in the Bay Area — a gigantic Show & Tell for arts projects of all genres and disciplines to engage with the public, gain recognition and new audiences and supporters. We expect 200 exhibitors and upwards of 5,000 attendees from around the Bay Area and beyond.

Where: The Golden Gate Park Music Concourse is between the DeYoung Museum and the Academy of Science, a short walk from the N-Judah, 5 Fulton, 6 Parnassus, 43 Masonic, 44 O’Shaughnessy and 71 Haight. Parking is available for a fee.

Note to Out of Towners: No matter how hot, sunny, and gorgeous it is during the day, this part of town experiences major fog, the temperature can drop up to 30 degrees in an hour, generally at dusk. Bring a jacket and scarf so your Hot Date doesn’t turn into a Hypothermia Date!
