The free music festival in Golden Gate Park takes place October 2-4 and is arguably one of the premier music events in San Francisco, offering a robust lineup of more than 100 diverse performers across seven stages. Most compellingly, attendees can bring their own picnic into the park to enjoy with the tunes.
