Good Times Festival – Peace, Love & GTC

The year was 1967, and in the Haight-Ashbury District of San Francisco, a movement was growing.

The city was known as a sanctuary for those who lived outside the mainstream, and Baby Boomers gravitated there, like the Beat Generation or Beatniks twenty years before them, shedding the conformist threads of society to seek out the bohemian lifestyle.

These artists, musicians, drifters, and hippies chased the sun in Golden Gate Park, danced to Rock n Roll and modern Jazz, and preached anti-war and free love principles with flowers in their hair.

Their iconic style – bright, bold colours, flared jeans, fringe tops, headbands and slogan tees – was an emblem of the era.

Their music preached peace, love and togetherness.

It was the Summer of Love and they were just getting started.

On May 27th, GTC in collaboration with 86ix8 Family takes you on a journey to Haight-Ashbury in 1967 to experience the Summer of Love.
