FogFest is a harlots-style festival, born out of the desire to have a great tournament in San Francisco again. The first FogFest was held in June of 2003 at Fort Scott in The Presidio. We had four teams with about 75 players, and it was a great success. In 2005 and 2007 the festival was held on Treasure Island, where it returns again for 2009.
What does your registration fee get you?
- Full day of RUGBY (at least 3 games) at beautiful Treasure Island

- BEER all day
- Post-tournament BBQ and SOCIAL
The emphasis at our rugby festival is on both the competition of the sport and on the the fun aspects of rugby. Individuals register and are placed on teams at random — well semi-randomly, as we do ask your position.
This provides a great opportunity to play with others you might not ordinarily get to meet — and it ensures we can create somewhat even teams. The heaviest person on each side serves as your team’s Captain for the day. It will most likely be a round-robin, so there are no eliminations (depends on the number of sides)— everyone gets to play the same number of matches.
The Fog expects this event to grow over the next several years, taking full advantage of our great location, San Francisco’s cool weather during the summer, and abundance of things to see and do in the Bay Area. Our goal is to provide you with a great day of rugby and fun at the lowest possible cost.
One of the unforgettable events of FogFest is the Saturday night party, whose details are meant to evoke the spirit of the wild Barbary Coast of San Francisco’s past.
Stay tuned here or at www.sffog.org for registration, housing/hosting and schedule details starting in February 2009. If you or your company is interested in sponsorship (jersey sponsorship, beer slide sponsorship are available) please let us know at czerlaut@gmail.com.
We hope to host as many of our out-of-town friends as possible. Stay tuned for registration information!
