48th Annual St. Stupid’s Day Parade

Financial District

For 48 years, San Francisco has celebrated April Fools' with a gleeful mockery of capitalism. Dress as your favorite absurdity, bring something "stupid" that matters to you, and join the drums and noisemakers through the Financial District. You'll toss pennies at the "Bankers Heart" and trade socks at the exchange, all in the name of Saint Stupid, patron of Civilizations and Parking Meters.
