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.

Ventresco & Axelrod | “People in Plazas” 2023 Market Street Music Festival | SFSan Francisco based acoustic guitarist Craig Ventresco makes his way where almost everyone else fears to tread nowadays–reviving forgotten vaudeville and pop tunes from the early years of the 20th Century.
Meredith Axelrod is a guitarist and singer of early jazz and pre-1930s American pop. The website Jazz Lives calls her “an unusual combination of demure and passionate” – and calls Craig “the poet of archaic music that should never be forgotten.” Together, the two play with great depth, richness, and charm.
