Stern Grove Festival

Stern Grove Festival

Established in 1938, the Stern Grove Festival is an admission-free series of performing arts events held during the summer months at the Sigmund Stern Recreation Grove, a eucalyptus-wooded natural amphitheater on a 33 acre site at 19th Avenue and Sloat Boulevard, about two miles (3 km) south of Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.

The summer Sunday afternoon concerts present music and dance including symphony, opera, jazz, international sounds and pop artists.

The Stern Grove Festival Association is a 501(c)3 non-profit.
