After a hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Castro Street Fair is set to return Sunday, October 3, in San Francisco's internationally-known LGBTQ mecca.
The fair will run from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., according to Jenn Meyer, a straight ally who is the president of the fair's board of directors and owner of Local Take, a boutique shop on 17th Street.
A donation of $5-$10 is requested, organizers said. "We are just glad to have the opportunity to welcome our friends and neighbors back into the streets with us," Meyer stated to the Bay Area Reporter September 27. "It has been a hard year and we could all use some celebration." Meyer and Fred Lopez, a gay man who is the vice president of the fair's board of directors, declined a phone interview
