Large-scale concerts at Golden Gate Park have been generating significant economic benefits for San Francisco businesses over three consecutive weekends. Local businesses, such as Andytown Coffee, report increased sales and customer engagement from concert-goers staying in various neighborhoods. It is estimated that around 450,000 attendees will have visited the city for these events, contributing approximately $150 million to the local economy. This influx not only supports hotels and restaurants but also brings much-needed revenue to other city parks, enhancing the overall experience for visitors and residents alike.
You have people who are staying at some of these nicer hotels. 'Hey, let's go to this restaurant, let's go to this coffee shop, let's go to this park, and then let's go spend the evening at the festival.' And the next day. 'Let's go explore somewhere else in the morning,' said Sean Sullivan, general manager of Andytown Coffee.
Officials say that after this weekend, an estimated 450,000 people will have come to San Francisco for these concerts. The economic impact is expected to be $150 million with hotels, restaurants and other small businesses benefiting.
