"Folsom fashion Folsom Street Fair returns Sunday with vendor stalls as vivid as the stages from sequined kaftans and femme harnesses to hand-cut fringe and heritage leather reworked into new shapes. Five and Diamond, Love Lorn Lingerie, Bearly Covered, Krakenwhip, and CantiqLA each carry their own lineage, from pandemic sewing experiments to decades of queer craft. Together they build a living archive in fabric and metal, where every strap and stitch carries both pleasure and defiance."
"Litquake season Litquake returns, starting with the Small Press Book Fair on Sunday at Yerba Buena Gardens, where independent publishers, journals, and bookstores set up shop on the lawn. From there, the festival spreads across the city and beyond through October, with events ranging from a panel on writing about wildfire to an evening with US Poet Laureate Ada Limon. Later in the month, Alta Journal teams up with Litquake to celebrate John Freeman's California Rewritten, and neighborhood readings fill bars, bookstores, and back rooms."
