“No wonder the Stern Grove Festival is San Francisco’s longest-running outdoor concert series. It’s free, it’s set in a beautiful eucalyptus grove and its programming is consistently excellent.” — Citysearch

“Stern Grove Festival is the antidote to packed music festivals like Coachella and Outside Lands that can cost hundreds of dollars and, occasionally, one’s sanity. Stern Grove is always free. Its acoustics are always good. And the setting? Amid trees that climb forever, the summer series is always inspiring.” — KQED
