California Freethought Day  

Sunday, October 08, 2023, 11 am - 5:30 pm

Location :  West steps, California State Capitol, map at https://goo.gl/maps/EYkQPCk3urcvEG7L6. 

 

The Twenty-second Annual California Freethought Day Festival is just around the corner, an in-person event on the West Steps of the California State Capitol. As in years of yore (lots of yore here), the Sac-area community of freethinkers will bring you a menagerie of wonders and a fabulous flight of free minds, with music, speakers, awards and more. Attendance is free. Free. So please join us!

 

"CFD", an annual public jubilee and gala hosted by the independent Freethought Day Committee, is a wide-ranging celebration of free speech and free thought, civic engagement, enthusiasm for science, social justice, and the separation of church and state. It is open to all -- combining "the fun and festivity of a fair with the education and activism of a conference," as the event chair fondly tells us. It features exhibits, speakers, music, prizes, panels, performance art, balloons twisted into small animals, and tons of fun.

 

Projected speakers and entertainers include television host Trace Dominguez, freethinking physician Dr. Candace Lawson, Recovering-from-Religion president Dr. Darrel Ray, science educator Jen Young, and various other speakers, entertainers & podcasters.

 

So sign up now. But wait, sign up why? It's free, isn't it? Oh yes, the main event (Sunday) is free to attend, but advance registration (at no cost) makes you eligible for delightful & toothsome benefits, including door prizes and updates. And would you care to staff a table? Would you like to join us for the Supporters Reception the evening before? CFD is a multifarious event, covering the whole weekend. Please visit the event website, or see the Facebook Page, to learn more.

 

Finally ... if you'd like to volunteer, sponsor, help promote, help plan, participate - or if you just have ideas - then please do visit the event website now, and contact the chairman (see below). Sooner = better. The team will love to have you, because hands that help ... are beautiful hands.
