Once you cross Kezar Drive, take a deep breath and let the city noise fade away - you're officially on the JFK Promenade, a glorious 1.5-mile car-free stretch that's been blissfully vehicle-free since 2020. This is where Golden Gate Park lets loose: giant art installations, funky road murals, outdoor musical instruments, and a rotating lineup of lawn games. No wonder San Franciscans voted in 2022 to keep this road permanently closed to cars - it's too much fun to give back.

The joy was simply overwhelming as some 55,000 Deadheads turned out to Night 1 of the three-day celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Bay Area's own Grateful Dead.

Come see these gobsmackingly gorgeous and wacky flowers at Golden Gate Park's Dahlia Dell, with a free guided tour dedicated to dahlias.

The 2025 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival lineup includes Lucinda Williams, Samara Joy, and Courtney Barnett among other talented artists, showcasing a diverse range of music.

There will indeed be a pay-per-view livestream of the sold-out Dead & Company shows August 1-3 at Golden Gate Park, allowing nationwide access to the performances.

The Dahlia Dell in Golden Gate Park bursts annually with vibrant hues and unique flower varieties such as Bumble Rumble and Fruit Salad, showcasing 700 named types.

The ten-year anniversary of Flower Piano will take place from September 12 to September 21, featuring performances from artists like Jill Tracy and Lavay Smith.

"Rec and Parks found some new opportunity for revenue and that allowed them to not have to make all the cuts they would have to make, but there were no good options."
