Stern Grove Music Festival

July 4

A beloved San Francisco tradition since 1938, the Stern Grove Festival presents free outdoor concerts every Sunday throughout the summer.

The festival's 73rd season runs from June 20 through August 22, at the Sigmund Stern Grove, a beautiful meadow surrounded by towering eucalyptus and redwood trees. Before each concert, from noon to 1 p.m., take your family to the KidStage, where different activities such as learning to dance, play drums, or make a mural are featured each week.
