We are very lucky in the San Francisco Bay area, so the time to get out and enjoy the outdoors is a requirement. The best place to indulge in music, the outdoors, food, and more is an outdoor festival. Learn more about the 80th anniversary of this free outdoor festival in a beautiful part of the city.
Sigmund Stern Recreation Grove, locally called Stern Grove, is a 33-acre recreational site in the Sunset District of San Francisco.
Stern Grove is a wonderful place to enjoy music of all forms from rock, opera, dance, world music and more in an unparalleled outdoor setting. And best yet, the festival is free!
