Outside
lands is happening right now and as I see giant groups of Canadians
heading out for their two days of indie music mayhem I
thought I would point out some other outdoor shows that
are happening this summer.
During
the entire month of August and the first part of September their are
daily "lunchtime concerts" that are happening up and down
Market St. and at tons of public spaces in the city. People
In Plazas produces free musical concerts in San Francisco outdoor
spaces. Their mission is to activate urban open spaces through
events which generate social congregation. Their aim is to bring
these spaces to the status of "everybody's neighborhood."
These shows have music from all over the world. For more info and
specific dates go to http://www.peopleinplazas.org/
This
September we also have Shakespeare in the park starting up.
Returning for his eighth season, Director Kenneth Kelleher presents
Shakespeare’s Two
Gentlemen of Verona, among
the lighter of the Bard’s fares. The story goes like this:
Valentine and Proteus are best friends from Verona. Problem is,
Proteus falls in love with Valentine’s hot new girlfriend and dumps
his own faithful girl Julia. Julia makes a plan to get her man back,
a plan that includes cross-dressing and some broken laws. SO grab a
friend and a carefully concealed bottle of wine and enjoy a little
bit of free culture. Its gonna be in the Presidio @ Presidio Main
Post Parade Ground Lawn | 34 Graham St. For more info on dates
