Taking the term “cacophony” in it most literal manifestation, the San Francisco Cacophony Society presents the 2nd Annual Public Improv Marching Band on April 26th.
Bring an instrument, wear a hat! This public marching band is open to everyone, even/especially if you have no musical ability. Instruments can be absolutely anything that makes noise, the louder the better. Hats are anything that goes on your head. Our motley band will blast it’s way through the Mission district.
Last year’s Public Marching Band event was silly fun. Join this one and make it an awesome San Francisco tradition with all the joyful consequences! The music starts this Sunday, April 26th, 4pm in Dolores Park @ 19th St near the bell.

This type of thing constantly reminds me of how different (and great) the culture in SF is from where I grew up in Dallas.
There was a similar event that happened regularly in Deep Ellum until the cops unprovoked peppersprayed and cuffed the leading personnel for “rioting” ~2001
wouldn’t this be the 3rd annual? the picture is from the marching band in 2007, then there was last years near the ferry building, then this one. that makes 3 years of mighty awesomeness.
