You would think that a three day festival in the heart of San Francisco might cost some coin. You would be wrong. Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is completely free. How can they swing three days of music? A rich philanthropist named Warren Hellman gives the festival as a gift to San Francisco. Now that’s a party.

Coolers, blankets, and short-back chairs are all allowed. Cameras are ok (no tripods or instrusive equipment please). There will also be vendors on-site selling food and non-alcoholic beverages. No alcohol will be for sale in the park, however, alcohol is allowed as per park rules. PLEASE respect the park and pick up and take everything with you that you bring in. There will be a sweep of the park by waste management each evening (which means no saving spaces for the following day).
