Pillow Fights - San Francisco Style

Who doesn’t love a good pillow fight?  Well in San Francisco we’ve taken it to a whole new level.  On Valentines day each year people take to the streets and gather at Justin Herman Plaza along the Embarcadero at the foot of Market Street, armed with pillows and have a huge pillow fight party.  Thousands gather for this intimate event.  While it is fun for all it can also be a form of therapy.  What better way to express your frustrations especially if your loved one forgot it was Valentines Day.  Below is a video of this annual event.

So, if you are ever in San Francisco on Valentines Day, grab your pillow and take to the streets.  I am personally hoping that this becomes a monthly event - pillows, pajamas and all.  Only in San Francisco.
