Event Details
Submitted by the Event Organizer
Now in its fourth season, the family- and dog-friendly space transforms the JFK Promenade’s Golden Mile into a vibrant weekend destination filled with drinks, lawn games, public art, and curated local food trucks.
Located just west of the Rose Garden near 14th Avenue East Meadow, the Whale’s Tail is open every Saturday and Sunday afternoon (noon to 6pm) through October 2025, plus select holiday Mondays.
Pull together a few Adirondack chairs or grab one of the picnic tables and take a breather from exploring The Golden Mile.
2025 brings even more to love: a rotating calendar of live local music, DJs, family-friendly interactive events such as yoga, paint & sips, and photobooths, plus delicious food and beverage offerings.
Visitors can even enjoy a bit of whale watching, thanks to the vibrant Street Whale mural by Reuben Rude just outside the garden. This colorful 3D installation and other public art along The Golden Mile channel the creative energy that adds to the whimsy of Golden Gate Park.
