For one night only, SOMArts’ Bay Gallery will be transformed into a street fair, replete with battling models, live performances, a DJ, food stalls, vendors, and prizes. Featured designers and stylists include 31 Rax, Bambie, Zuriel Bautista, Chartreuse, Kalakari Collective, and Prince x Rose, while Dirty Boots, Little Sister, Cynthia Lin, and Micropixie rock out on the main stage. Special performance at intermission by the Rice Rockettes! Hosted by Terry Park and Robynn Takayama.
Official afterparty will be hosted at Sloane, 1525 Mission Street in San Francisco. Free entry for VIP ticket holders all night and General Admission ticket holders until midnight.
This event is presented by Kearny Street Workshop, and co-sponsored by the Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center, as part of the 16th Annual United States of Asian America Festival. It is made possible through SOMArts' Affordable Space Program, which provides below-market rental space, production and publicity assistance to nonprofit organizations.
