Salesforce Park is celebrating its 8th birthday with a three-day music and food festival weekend in Downtown San Francisco.

Rooftop Rhythms takes place August 21-23, 2026, bringing three days of live music, DJs, food, drinks, and outdoor fun to the park’s rooftop setting.

Friday kicks off the weekend with a free concert presented with Noise Pop, featuring Oakland art-pop duo Tune-Yards, along with local bands Rituals of Mine and Everyone is Dirty. Barebottle Brewing Company will also have beverages available for purchase.

On Saturday, FREE TECHNO takes over the Salesforce Park Amphitheater for an evening of techno featuring a live hardware performance from Lady Starlight, plus Adra, Max Gardner, and Zachary Noel. Beverages will again be available for purchase from Barebottle.

The weekend wraps up Sunday with Suds Francisco: A Funk & Fermentation Festival, a celebration of the Bay Area’s food and beverage culture. The free festival features 40+ breweries, wineries, cideries, kombucha makers, sake producers, NA beverage makers, bakers, and fermented food artisans, along with live music on the Amphitheater Stage and DJ sets throughout the Main Plaza.

Live music includes Katdelic featuring P-Funk All-Star RonKat Spearman, plus Afterthought & The Top Chefs. Free entry is available to everyone, while VIP and unlimited tasting tickets are available for purchase.

The events are free with RSVP, although entry is first come, first served and RSVP does not guarantee admission.
