Activity Description
FOOT! comedy walking tours presents Flashback: From the Summer of Love to the Winter of Discontent. This two-hour tour takes the intrepid traveler on a vivid trip through the heart of the Haight-Ashbury district, the birthplace of the cultural revolution that sparked the 1960’s. It’s the trippiest of all our trips.
We see the locations of some of the most memorable events of the tie-dyed Summer of Love, as well as the former homes of the Grateful Dead, the Jefferson Airplane, Janis Joplin, and other notable characters.
- Experience Janice Joplin’s crash pad
- Dig the Grateful Dead house (where the band all lived together, man!)
- Freak out to a Love-In in the Panhandle
- Say “right on” to Buena Vista Park, which saw more sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll than the back seat of Paris Hilton’s Porsche
- See the psychedelic music, hear the psychedelic artwork, and feel the psychedelic oral history
Flashback examines the rise and fall of the Haight-Ashbury hippie culture. Starting in 1964 as a utopian ideal of peace, love, and flower children, the dream was virtually over by 1968 when the streets filled to capacity and the trip turned bad, man.
Flashback explores a neighborhood that avoided the Great Fire of 1906, so you’ll see some beautiful Victorian homes as well--pack a camera.
