This summer, Slide the City will bring utter merriment to the streets of Oakland and San Francisco. A brightly colored vinyl waterslide will be open to Bay Area fun-lovers; but don’t be mistaken, this is not a slide-and-leave event. This will also be a full-blown party replete with live music and food that is sure to get you in the spirit of (a presumably foggy) summer.
The enormous slide is padded for comfort and more than three football fields long. You can choose to take a single plunge (note: BYOT—Bring Your Own Tube), or opt for a larger package that includes multiple rides and goodie bags. No word yet on which lucky streets will be shut down for the event, but it's already open for early registration. Sign up and receive your very own mouthguard and water gun.
