SF’s Yerba Buena Gardens Festival 2025
The 2025 Yerba Buena Gardens Festival hosts a full lineup of free outdoor music, theater, circus, dance, poetry, and children’s programs. The Festival opens on Saturday, May 10, 2025 with La Santa Cecilia to kick off its 25th Anniversary Season.
A musical tribute to the much-loved Khalil Shaheed, bandleader, jazz educator, and founder of the Oaktown Jazz Workshop, an after-school program for teens.
Shaheed’s group Mansa Musa, now under the direction of saxophonist Richard Howell, blends the traditional music of Mali with African-American jazz. The Oaktown Jazz Workshop Performance Ensemble joins in for an afternoon of exciting and challenging jazz classics.
