About two dozen naked activists paraded their stuff in San Francisco on Sunday in honor of the late Grateful Dead musician Jerry Garcia.
The group stripped outside under sunny skies before hiking to the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood. They waved flags and signs that read “clothing optional” and “nude is not lewd.”
Several years ago the city banned public nudity except in events where sponsors had obtained permits.
Activists have decried the ban as body shaming.
A veteran public nudity protester warned at another nude protest that San Francisco was becoming too conservative a city.
The Dead’s Garcia was born Aug. 1 and died Aug. 9.
