Following last year's Festival, which marked one of the first major events in the SF Bay Area post-pandemic, the multi-genre outdoor music festival will once again be home to weekly performances from some of today's most sought-after acts, in addition to local established and up-and-coming performers throughout the summer season.
This year's campaign will also mark a welcomed revival of the Festival's home at Sigmund Stern Grove, a historic park and concert meadow located at 19th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard in the city's Sunset District that for decades has offered an unparalleled outdoor setting for music lovers of all ages. Although the Grove experienced extensive damage last fall due to a major water main rupture and while all renovations are not yet complete, the site has now been approved for in-person audiences again this summer.
"We are thrilled to be able to present our 85th season this summer, especially after overcoming another set of challenges with the aftermath of the flood last summer. Bringing live music back to the Grove provides our community the opportunity to gather and enjoy our free concerts, and we are grateful to be able to fulfill our mission to do just that," said Executive Director Bob Fiedler.
Although admission to each concert will continue to remain free to the public, the Festival will welcome the return of its popular online ticket reservation system. Twelve days prior to each event, an online portal will be opened through
https://www.sterngrove.org to offer free passes on a first-come, first-served basis.
