Due to the COVID-19 outbreak, we are canceling Yerba Buena Night this year.
Yerba Buena Night is a free arts festival held in the heart of San Francisco's cultural district. Each year we host thousands of people to witness artists, singers, dancers, and performers to illustrate the diversity and artistic power of this glorious, defiant, and outspoken city. Want to join us? We can sure use some reliable, fun, and willing volunteers to help us make this year's festival one of the most fun places to be.
