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.
Since moving to the Bay Area in 1996, Havana-born percussionist Carlos Caró has become a ubiquitous force on the Latin music scene, providing authoritative rhythmic support in numerous bands representing a dazzling array of Cuban styles, from 19th century danzón to 21st century timba. He launched Vission Latina 12 years ago to pursue his passion for high-energy salsa, and the band features an impressive cast of masters from across the Americas. A key addition came in 2008, when the well-traveled Cuban vocalist Felix Samuel joined the fold in time for the group’s blazing second album, Sonando Como un Cañón, earning avid international attention.
