Free Super Bowl 50 Concerts & Fireworks Shows
Super Bowl 50 is set to take place at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, home of the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday, February 7, 2016. For the first time in Super Bowl history, the game will be branded with the Arabic numeral 50 instead of the Roman Numeral ‘L’.
Of course we realize that tickets to the game aren’t free, but we want to make sure you’re ready for Super Bowl madness to take over San Francisco. If you think the Bay is usually hopping on Super Bowl Sunday, just wait until the game actually comes to town.
Highlights include Saturday Night Lights on January 30th with a free concert from Chris Isaak, a fireworks show and the re-lighting of the Bay Lights.
The Bay Lights celebrates its official re-lighting on January 30
