San Francisco is taking it to the streets with 30 performances, free and open-to-the-public, spread across 10 Wednesdays this summer in some of the City's most iconic outdoor public spaces.
"SFWednesdays is all about welcoming people back to San Francisco and reminding them what makes this City special," said San Francisco Mayor London N. Breed who initiated the effort. "These free performances by local artists will bring music, dance and excitement to our downtown and waterfront neighborhoods, and are part of our broader efforts to help San Francisco emerge from this pandemic better than ever."
The series of free live events is designed to reactivate downtown public spaces and reconnect San Franciscans and visitors with the city streetscape. In an effort to support the economic recovery of the cultural and business community, the program employs local artists performing in popular venues where retail and hospitality naturally mix with day-to-day workers. Sites such as Union Square, Embarcadero Plaza and Mechanics Monument Plaza will feature music, dance and other live performances as San Francisco renews and recovers.
The schedule for the first five performances follows:
