More Than a Festival...

Come to Yuri’s Night Bay Area to kick back, celebrate, and dance, but also be ready to learn, interact, and think! You could think of Yuri’s Night as a fusion of a technology expo, a Maker Faire, an art exhibition, and a music festival, all rolled into one.

Yuri’s Night Bay Area 2008 includes:

• A world-class lineup of musical artists, ranging from the electronic breakbeat sounds of Amon Tobin and Tipper to Telstar, featuring Phil Lesh of the Grateful Dead.
• A mind-expanding series of speakers, from NASA scientists to video-game designers to Bay Area entrepreneurs.
• Live performances of all kinds, from dance and acrobatics by Capacitor to aerial demonstrations featuring Yuri-Gagarin-era aerobatic aircraft.
• Dozens of art and science installations, including everything from NASA research robots to the unveiling of the newest fire sculpture by the Flaming Lotus Girls.
• Ten hours of documentaries and art films for you to enjoy at our S.T.E.A.M. Screen documentary screeing area.
• A chance to talk to each other—and to some of our speakers, artists, scientists, and performers—about the big questions in or Festival of Ideas.
• ...and much, much more!
