Ziggy Marley and others to perform free at Stern Grove Festival this summer
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The Stern Grove Festival's annual series of free Sunday concerts kicked off June 17 and will continue through August. Stern Grove Festival Board of Directors Chairman Douglas Goldman spoke to ABC7 about this summer's lineup.
The festival is 81 years old, Goldman explained. "My great-grandmother Rosalie Meyer Stern contributed the park that was named after her late husband Sigmund Stern in 1931," he said. "In 1938 she started the free summer concert series."
Because the concert is free, it attracts a wide audience, Goldman says, and makes for "great people watching."
