Love the yearly Stern Grove Music Concerts on Summer Sundays! The acoustics are just amazing. Go early at ~10am to secure a good space for your crew. Bring lots of nice treats and wine :)

Great place to see any free concert on a good weather day, but foggy most others. Bad place to be if you are allergic to mosquitoes or have a seat on the hill.

Arrive early to save space, especially on sunny Sundays. That said, our group prefers overcast or foggy days since the covert meadow is fairly exposed.

Sit in the trees and enjoy the music with some wine and cheese

You’ll be packed in like sardines but you’ll love every minute of it. A great and super fun music venue. 🎤 🎼

If the show starts at 2, get there at 12 to get a picnic table and good seat for the show! Great place to eat and chill for a couple hours.

Picnic tables are reserved for Supporting members and Volunteers only. Sign up and help out!!! Do get here early for best seating though.

Bring a chainsaw if you want to be able to see anything. Have your environmental impact assessment ready for the city of SF.

Arrive early, or enjoy a view of the foliage instead of the stage :(

Take the family for a picnic in the concert meadow on a non-concert day. Kids can run around on the empty stage and put on "shows."

Have a seat or don't go. Some of the staff is very SERIOUS about their jobs. What fire lanes...I'm backed completely against a wall jeeze.

Parking sucks, so take MUNI and bring a picnic lunch and relax to the music.
