Bicycle Day SF returns to The Midway with headliners Desert Dwellers & Emancipator

For nearly a decade Bicycle Day SF has fostered community and connection in the San Francisco and the greater Bay Area with their unique annual art & music festival. In celebration of the “Good Doctor” Albert Hofmann, his discovery of LSD, and his infamous bike ride home after intentionally ingesting the substance – Bicycle Day SF was born. Following a two-year pause of public celebration, Bicycle Day SF will return bigger and better than ever before.  For the first time, Bicycle Day SF will include daytime programming with keynote panel discussions with leading experts in the field of psychedelia in addition to a night of music and art festivities. Bicycle Day SF will take place on Tuesday, April 19, at the Midway. 

And similar to past years, Bicycle Day SF will host an evening of extravaganza celebrating art and music with Microdose VR and Johnathan Singer. Consciousness-evoking musical artists set to perform include headlining talent Emancipator, in addition to Desert Dwellers, Axel Thesleff, Häana, and more.

The first-ever daytime programming will include a sneak peek of filmmaker Seth Ferranti’s latest documentary, “Dissolve In Light: The Making Of The Psychedelic Revolution The Secret History of the LSD Trade” followed by an interactive panel of leading experts in the fields of activism, research, the arts, and decriminalization. This event is the first of its kind, spanning and combining the most vital topic areas in psychedelics today.

On the conference side, the Bicycle Day SF speaker panel will discuss the current state of psychedelics with key topics ranging from the legalization of LSD, psychedelic research, the medicinal benefits of psychedelics, and more. Speakers will include medicinal chemist and creator/director of Vice’s Hamilton’s Pharmacopeia, Hamilton Morris, Leonard Pickard, Isaac Abrams, Rhoney Stanley, Timothy Tyler, Seth Ferranti, Mark McCloud, Mountain Girl, Ryan Jay Beauregard, and Madison Margolin.
