Upcoming park event!

The Tony Award-winning San Francisco Mime Troupe (SFMT) is coming! This Sunday, September 12th @ 5:00pm, music begins at 4:30 at the Southside Park bandshell, 6th and T streets. SFMT presents POSIBILDAD, or Death of the Worker. A small U.S. factory is shutting down. All of the workers are losing their jobs, and to add insult to injury, they have also lost their last two weeks of pay and retirement funds, which were raided over the years to pay stock dividends. On the final day of work, a pregnant employee, suddenly overtaken with labor pains, sits down on the job. Interpreting this as an act of difiance, The Boss calls security. The situation escalates and before anyone has a chance to think, the Workers have accidentally occupied the Factory!

Ticket info: FREE! donations are happily accepted. ASL Interpreter will be on site. Bring a low back chair, blanket, and a picnic and come on out! Political comedy at its finest! SFMT always funny!!! For more info go to the SFMT website. See you there... Tj.

Today is the annual Yarmarka Festival! It is a traditional Russian festival celebrating Russian-Ukrainian American culture. This year is the 12th annual and it is expected to attract 10-15 thousand people throughout the day. A very popular event of the year for the Russian speaking community. This is an annual festival for the park, and it's always a big party! Most of the festivals end mid to late afternoon, but this one goes till dark! Party on!! Until next time... Tj.

The beauty and diversity of Southside Park! The Aztec Celebration of Tlacaxipehualiztli (The Flaying of Man), a springtime festival in honor of Xipe Totec. Xipe Totec, the god of Spring and new vegetation. Beautiful head dresses, powerful drumming, inspiring dance... Wonderful! And spring is here! At the pond while the drums were pulsing and the conch shell singing a Great Blue heron came in for a landing at the pond! What a celebration for the senses it was today!! Happy Spring! Tj.
