All musicians who participate in the program are local professionals who are able to showcase original compositions and play music in a variety of genres.

We consciously strive to produce events that bring a diversity of music to our audiences. As we educate the public about the benefits of keeping these outdoor plazas, patios and parks clean, active and safe, we provide more than 500 paid gigs for local musicians each year.

We work with owners of public and private outdoor spaces to create live music events that provide a healthy respite from the workday and a place to enjoy lunch, meet up with friends, and take advantage of the sunshine and beauty of Downtown San Francisco.
