Celebrate all things bizarre and delicious in a fantastical night of punchbowl cocktails from San Francisco's best bars, passed appetizers, carnival curiosities and attractions. With entertainment that harkens back to the era of a 1920s traveling circus, the evening will include attractions such as a juggling unicyclist, jugglers, a fortune teller, conjoined twins, a bug-eating magician and classic carnival games such as Punk Pitch and Bean Bag Toss, in a darkly wonderful and memorable evening. Gaucho, a gypsy jazz sextet, will also perform during the evening. To satisfy your tastebuds (and cravings for nostalgia), appetizers of carnival inspired treats will be provided by Straw Catering. Think: Crispy Mini Corndogs with lavender honey mustard, The Bearded Lady (pulled pork sliders with citrus slaw and chipotle BBQ sauce, Ringmaster (donut hole cheesburgers), Sweet Tots (sweet potato tots), House-spun Cotton Candy and Mini Funnel Cakes with whipped cream.The Greatest Cocktail Show on Earth!
