The Flaming Lotus Girls and Heavy Petting Zoo are back together for Mutant Zoo: Feathers and Fur!

✨ ONLINE TICKET SALES ✨

6pm - Midnight

Expect amazing tunes, big art, and fiery playa magic! FLG and HPZ are excited bring their annual Mutant Zoo to the Box Shop! Join us August 8th for a night of FUNdraising before sending these crews back home.

Creating and sustaining big art, whether on wheels or on fire, requires a lot of resources! If you enjoy what Flaming Lotus Girls and Heavy Petting Zoo give and contribute, this fundraiser is a fantastic opportunity to join us, helping to raise needed funds while celebrating our amazing community of artists and builders together!

The Box Shop is the workshop and spiritual home of Flaming Lotus Girls for over 18 years and a hub for artists, builders, and makers. As The Box Shop prepares to leave its longtime home for a permanent new location, this is a chance to experience one of San Francisco’s largest art spaces before this era comes to an end.

Online sales will start 6/11 at noon and end at 3pm on event day.

✨ ONLINE TICKET SALES ✨

Door tickets will be $45. (Venmo, Paypal, Cash)
