Music Concourse

Music Concourse is an open-air performance space located in the cultural heart of Golden Gate Park, centered around a large bandshell with surrounding gardens and walkways. The grounds are designed to accommodate crowds while maintaining intimate views of the stage from various vantage points.

The Spreckels Temple of Music was built in 1900 with funding from a wealthy businessman and established the site as a cultural anchor. This early investment shaped the grounds into one of San Francisco's major music venues.

This space has long served as a gathering place where locals come to enjoy live music performances as part of their weekly routines. The open-air setting creates a shared experience that shapes how the community engages with the arts.

A parking garage with many spaces is accessible from Fulton Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and serves the entire cultural district. Walking through the grounds is easy with paved paths and plenty of seating areas throughout.

The grounds offer free electric vehicle charging stations supported by automotive sponsorship. This makes it a modern destination that supports sustainable travel choices.
