Valentine's Day Pillow Fight 2016
in San Francisco
Sunday, February 14, 2016 - 5:50 pm
Justin Herman Plaza
1 Market Street,
San Francisco, CA
Feathers will fly at this fun, flash-mob type event,
which takes place annually on Valentine’s Day. It is Pillow Fight.
In the past, nearly 1,000 San Franciscans descended on
Justin Herman Plaza with feather-stuffed pillows to run Braveheart-like at full
speed at one another to lovingly beat the crap out of each other until the
whistle blows.
Top Tips:
* Bring a mask or bandanna to cover your mouth – it is
easy to choke on flying feathers.
* Bring a synthetic pillow (not one with feathers). Trust
us... It is much more enjoyable this way.
* Bring a garbage bag – have fun and then help clean up
afterward – the price of having fun is keeping your city clean and makes it
much less likely for the fuzz to shut this thing down.
* Build up your arm strength – your arms will be sore
after this… trust us.
* It is worth repeating… HELP CLEAN UP AFTERWARD – we cannot
stress this enough so that we can continue having fun anarchy like this.

6: Valentine's Day Pillow Fight in Downtown San Jose
Sunday, February 14, 2016 at 12 PM to 3 PM
Downtown San Jose
Since 2011, San Jose has held our own massive pillow
fights, inspired by the Great Pillow Fights of San Francisco, and ever since we
have joined the fun, we have had tremendous success. This City is becoming more
awesome by the year. Let us continue this tradition to liven up our beloved
DTSJ with fun and cheer for this Valentine's Day. So let the anticipation begin
for you veteran pillow pugilists and let the curiosity start for the
first-timer feather throwers.
An AIRHORN or WHISTLE or TOWER will signal the beginning
of the event. We will proceed to charge a la Braveheart and let the flailing of
laughter ensue. How long will it last? Well, that all depends on you.
THE RULES:
-Tell everyone about the Pillow Fight.
-Bring a pillow
-Wait until the whistle/airhorn signal to begin.
-Soft pillows only!
-NEVER swing at people without pillows or with cameras.
-Tell EVERYONE about the Pillow Fight.
-Remove glasses beforehand!
-Don't hit people with a pillow unless they want it.
-Swing lightly, many people will be swinging at once.
-This is not a little kids’ event.
-If you do not want to participate, go outside the
"play" area and you will be respected.
