Friday will kick off the fair with a music festival; Saturday will be the parade, which will be full of wacky floats, marching bands, and other free-spirited street performers (and of course a flock of nude bikers) and more music; Sunday the excitement will continue with yoga a colorful dog parade through the streets of Fremont.
