Distractions
Distractions has been serving the colorful Haight-Ashbury community since 1982. We have evolved over the decades as the counter culture community has changed. Starting as a smoke shop, we changed our direction towards a clothing store catering to people who attend events such as Burning Man and other festivals. At Distractions, you'll find Steampunk, Victorian, 1920s, and modern Festival clothing made by small independent artists as well as vintage clothing and accessories.
