Come As You Are: A Psychedelic San Francisco Halloween Musical Festival

The event producers of the iconic ‘Do You Remember? Music Festival’ in Golden Gate Park are bringing a new kind of celebration to San Francisco this Halloween. Local arts nonprofit Big Leap Collective & forward thinking psych-rockers Analog Dog are joining forces with Illuminate Live, San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, and Friends of The Amp for a special FREE community gathering at Jerry Garcia Amphitheater on Saturday, October 28th.

‘Come As You Are: A Psychedelic San Francisco Halloween Music Festival’ will feature some of the city’s premiere independent music acts, in addition to live drag performances, a costume contest, local art vendors & more. Local nonprofits Her Idea & SF Rock Project will be presenting informational booths as well as fun group activities for all ages, and fun for the family, too! 

As a continuation of the ‘Psychedelic San Francisco Music series’, the event seeks to bring attention to the increasing need for public funding of local art and the revitalization of underutilized music spaces. It also aims to serve as an existential meditation, as our global society inches its way toward a climate crisis.

In the spirit of Halloween and the great tradition of self expression & psychedelic revolution in San Francisco, we invite everyone to gather in a moment where the veil between the material world and the spirit world is thin- to wave your freak flags and commune with the ghosts from the other side, to dance without fear and to meditate on change, to live freely in the moment as we celebrate love and life and death in the greatest city on Earth.

DON’T TELL ME THIS TOWN AIN’T GOT NO HEART. 

Live Performances at this amazing event will include sets by: Analog Dog, Cardboard People, Mild Universe, Juicebumps, Marika Christine and DJ Nocean Beach.

The Jerry Garcia Amphitheater, Sundown Cinema returns with another movie to laugh along with — the action, comedy, fantasy about three parapsychologists who offer ghost removal services in New York City - “Ghostbusters 1984.”

Co-sponsored by SF Parks Alliance, Do the Bay and Alamo Brewhouse, this free night of music and feature film shows on Friday, October 20th, starting at 5PM.

Last year’s night under the stars filled up the seats and hillside, so plan to come before the sun sets, bring your own picnic or plan to taste the food and beverages offered by the night’s vendors.
