The event is traditionally held at Dolores Park, but was briefly moved to Golden Gate Park when their home park was being renovated, and at least once was moved to the Eureka Valley Rec & Park Center because of rain.

  By Bars and Nightclubs, Burlesque Shows, Cancelled Events

Note: For the first time in the show’s five-year history, Baloney has been cancelled. The Baloney boys’ other event, Sausagefest, will still occur on March 13, 2020.

Though there are obvious and very frightening personal financial repercussions to consider, our bigger concern is that the beloved brand of beautiful escapism we offer is simply not attainable at… Continue reading
