ABOUT US
Stern Grove Festival is a non-profit organization making free live music accessible to all since 1938.
THE ORIGINAL FREE MUSIC FESTIVAL
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 87 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.

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.
We need to raise $40 per person to keep our concerts free. Consider donating today to help us continue our amazing tradition.
