One should try it. If it ain't your thang then move on. Diverse group of people attend this party Haven. The street performers are eclectic and numerous. Some are jus down right strange but so be it. I just looked the other way and it's hard to offend me or surprise me. I'm open to most things but the old fart in the leather outfit with a cat-of-nine-tails was a little over the top. The two men dressed as KISS with tight spandex on revealing all the bits and pieces was, well over the top.
You should try it though. At least you will be able to leave saying you had the Fremont Experience.
