About Us
We believe music inspires, transforms and unites a community.
Join us for a summer afternoon of magic at Stern Grove Festival, where every moment is an opportunity for discovery, connection, and joyous celebration. For 89 years as a non-profit organization, all proceeds of our events go towards bringing free live music to San Francisco, ensuring that everyone can experience the magic of music in nature.
Stern Grove Festival is a the nation’s longest running free music festival.
We’ve been bringing free music to San Francisco since 1938

How We Work
All of our concerts are funded by individual donors, sponsors, and organizations so you can trust that 100% of your donation goes directly to funding our Festival. We raise nearly $4M every year so we can continue to support our community, staff and musicians by paying fair and equitable rates.
Ready to give the gift of free live music?
We need to raise $40 per person to keep our concerts free. Consider donating today to help us continue our amazing tradition.
