In its 41st year, The 2017 Union Street Music Festival is introducing new, exciting additions to this long standing San Francisco event. In our ongoing effort to keep the Festival fresh and exciting we have decided to put a much bigger emphasis on Music for the 2017 Festival. This year’s event will be known as The Union Street Music Festival. The event will have live bands performing in small entertainment areas throughout the site. We will feature five different genres: Jazz, Blues, Country, Bluegrass and Local Bands!

The Festival will also include the traditional elements that have made this event stand out over the years, including Arts and Craft Exhibitors, unique Sponsors, Festive Food Vendors and Community Groups.  The Festival will again feature full pours of tasty beers and fine wines in each of our beverage gardens.  Please come check out the Juried Art Section at the festival and see who you think should be awarded the cash prizes!

The Festival is held on San Francisco’s fashionable Union Street where historic Victorians have been transformed into popular boutiques, art galleries and restaurants.
