Thank You to Our Supporters

For more than 144 years, the Golden Gate Park Band has presented free concerts at the historic Bandshell in Golden Gate Park, made possible through the generosity of our community and our dedicated partners. We are deeply grateful for the support of San Francisco Grants for the Arts, The Recording Industry’s Music Performance Trust Fund, facilitated by American Federation of Musicians Local 6, and our valued partnership with the San Francisco Recreation & Parks Department. We also extend special thanks to Illuminate Live for their generous support of our sound production.

Together with our individual donors, these organizations help ensure that live music remains free and accessible to all in San Francisco.

We gratefully acknowledge the individuals whose generous contributions make our free concerts possible.

Your support keeps the music playing in Golden Gate Park.
