People In Plazas produces free musical concerts in San Francisco outdoor spaces.
People in Plazas provides more than 500 paid "gigs" annually for local musicians. We support live music performance and embrace the diversity and wealth of the Bay Area music community.
The series has grown to producing 170+ free performances in public plazas during July, August and September. Venues stretch from Embarcadero Center up to 9th Street on or near Market Street. The program reaches an audience of more than 45,000 annually.
The "People in Plazas" series is supported by the Mayor's Office, Art Commission, Musicians Union Local 6, AFM. SFPD, the SF Entertainment Commission and with a grant from the Hotel Tax Fund /Grants for the Arts. Downtown property owners provide venue sponsorship.
People in Plazas is part of the Mayor's Better Market Street Project. In 2010 we will partner with the City and the Central Market Community Benefit District in presenting a series of concerts in the Mid Market Street Area.
