Merry Pranksters' events

The Merry Pranksters were a group of friends in the 1960s led by Ken Kesey who aimed to spread joy and challenge social norms. They organized a famous cross-country bus trip in a colorful bus called Furthur, during which they hosted spontaneous parties and encouraged free-spirited, psychedelic experiences. Their events symbolized the countercultural movement, emphasizing community, experimentation, and embracing alternative lifestyles. Through their antics and gatherings, they sought to expand consciousness and challenge mainstream values of conformity and consumerism.
