Come As You Are: A Psychedelic San Francisco Halloween Music Festival
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.

SAN FRANCISCO: Trixie Rasputin and Excelsior Outer Mission Merchants are proud to present the inaugural Ever Higher Festival, to be held Saturday, September 23, 2023 at Jerry Garcia Amphitheater in McLaren Park, SF, from 12pm-6pm.

With major funding from Avenue Greenlight and support from several community groups, including Excelsior Action Group and Friends of Jerry Garcia Amphitheater, the organizers hope to create a fun and festive event that can be continued for years to come.
“We are excited to receive a grant from Avenue Greenlight that allows us to celebrate our neighborhood and all it has to offer, including one of the largest public open spaces in the city. The success of our diverse community and its commercial corridor depend on support from residents, visitors, and community and political leaders alike, and we hope that events like this can serve as a common-ground gathering to foster success. And what better way to celebrate than by enjoying free music in the park?” said Andrea Ferrucci of EOMM.
