The 2009 Faire Zones:
The Urban Crop Circle (the center intersection) - featuring the city’s newest park, with a pyramid rising above the grass. The faire’s center will host performances throughout the day, and be surrounded by music and dancing. There will be four stages of dance music at the intersection, thanks to the Consortium of Collective Consciousness, Symbiosis, Purgatory Cruiser, Muti Music, Kontrol, and Sunset. The center intersection is located at Howard and 2nd Streets, or more specifically 37°47′12.4″ N, 122°23′53.7″ W.
Anchor Stages - anchoring the faire at 2nd and Mission Street is a psytrance music stage by Tantra, and at Howard and 1st Street will be a dance music stage by Opel, Opulent Temple, and Temple Nightclub.
