Overview
The Stern Grove Festival Association presents the longest-running free outdoor performing arts festival in the United States in Sigmund Stern Grove, a unique natural amphitheater surrounded by redwood trees. On average, 100,000 people participate each year in this San Francisco summer tradition, which features performances ranging from classical and world music to dance, pop, and jazz, as well as hands-on family activities. Looking to expand and deepen its audiences, the Festival is developing a new community outreach program, Grove on the Road, taking a mobile "pop-up" arts festival to various San Francisco neighborhoods. Renewed funding would support the organization’s efforts to provide a variety of outstanding free performing arts experiences.
