Celebrate the start of summer with an amazing night of music in Golden Gate Park at the iconic Conservatory of Flowers from 6 to 10 p.m. on Wednesday, June 20! The City will revel in another free concert in the Park and as the longest day of the year slides into night, the Conservatory welcomes back the Summer of Love light art installation launched in 2017, with the lighting at approximately 9:15 p.m. Photosynthesis transforms the Conservatory into a canvas of colorful light art every night. The concert will revisit iconic songs of the late 1960s with many legendary musicians to be named over the next two weeks.
The flower-powered celebration is free and open to all ages. A variety of food trucks from Off the Grid will be available, as well.
Developed in partnership with San Francisco Recreation and Parks, the light art installation, initiated by Illuminate, the nonprofit arts group behind The Bay Lights, together with Obscura Digital, a world-renowned creative studio specializing in large scale light-based art, uses gobo projectors to transform the all-white landmark with a series of exquisite scenes inspired by the rare tropical flowers within this national landmark.
Space is limited at this event, and public transportation is highly recommended, as parking is limited. John F. Kennedy Drive will be closed between Conservatory Drive East and West for the entirety of June 20.
The Summer Solstice Concert is produced by Dawn Holliday with the musical direction of Dan “Lebo” Lebowitz. The Recreation and Park Department is grateful to the Conservatory of Flowers, San Francisco Parks Alliance, and numerous civic leaders and organizations for supporting the event.
Entertainment for Summer Solstice blends San Francisco most beloved legacy bands and the bright new talents on the San Francisco music scene.
