4,000 BAY AREA YELPERS ROCK OUT WITH THEIR DOCK OUT

Free Open Event to Benefit Bay Area Girls Rock Camp

May 24, 2011 -- SAN FRANCISCO -- Yelp, the site where people write reviews about everything from waterfront docks, and burlesque bars, to amazing community based organizations and neighborhood resource centers, is hosting the largest and wildest Yelp party to date.

On June 26th, Yelp will convert Richmond’s Craneway Pavilion, into a raucous festival celebrating the best that the Bay Area has to offer from celeb chefs to mouth watering food trucks. When the bands hit the stage and the photobooths start to pop off, the party will just be starting. Local wineries and micro breweries will help socially lubricate the crowds for the tea dancers, Red Hots Burlesque troupes, aerialists and more.

Yelp has partnered with Bay Area Girls Rock Camp to help raise funds and awareness for this great cause that helps empower girls through music education, creation and performance. This is a free event for 21+, but the $5 suggested donation will go a long way to support young under served girls in the Bay Area. 100% donations to benefit: http://www.bayareagirlsrockcamp.org/

Performances by: The Blank Tapes, The Downer Party, Megan Slankard, DJ Sonny Phono, Red Hots Burlesque, Studio 12 Flys and The Tea Dancers

Date: Sunday June 26th, 6:00pm-9:00pm
Location: Craneway Pavilion 1414 Harbour Way South, Richmond, CA 94804
