The Yerba Buena Garden Festival thrived in 2024, showcasing over 120 free outdoor programs and attracting 55,900 attendees through the talents of more than 1,300 artists. As the organizers plan for 2025, they emphasize the importance of donations to sustain the quality and accessibility of the arts. Notably, upcoming Big Awards Shows feature Monica Barbaro's portrayal of Joan Baez in a Bob Dylan biopic, reflecting on Baez's artistic process. Additionally, remembrance of late artist Frankie Beverly highlights his enduring legacy despite the absence of Grammy recognition.
"Barbaro's Baez is steely, scene-stealing, and dazzling in all the phases of Baez during 1961-65. Easily Academy Award material."
"Baez, as if to wave away her concern, said, 'I'm just in the garden, watching the birds! There is a certain dignity, a type of regality in just doing the work.'"
"Donations, of any denomination, ensure that Yerba Buena Gardens Festival programs are always excellent, fresh and admission-free!"
"Frankie Beverly technically never won a Grammy over his 60-plus-year career, but he easily received thousands from us every time he performed at those summertime shows."
