SF’s Yerba Buena Gardens Festival 2026
The 2026 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 9, 2026 with Hermán Olivera y Orquesta Taíno to kick off its 26th season. The Festival features over 100 free performances from May to November in Downtown San Francisco.
A bitingly satiric reimagination of Shakespeare’s immortal dreamscape The Tempest, Maség is gorgeous dance theater creation by three of the Bay Area’s most respected artists: Philippine dance choreographer Jay Loyola, composer Florante Aguilar, and Kularts’ Artistic Director Alleluia Panis. Set in the Philippines in the 15th century, Maség tells the tale of a once powerful and righteous tribal shaman exiled to the island of Puló, where he manipulates the island deities into conjuring a powerful storm to sink the ship of his enemies.
