Conservatory Lighting at approximately 9:15pm


Put some flowers in your hair and come celebrate the start of summer with an amazing night of music in Golden Gate Park at the iconic Conservatory of Flowers.  The City will revel in another free Surrealistic Summer Solstice Jam in the Park and as the longest day of the year slides into night, the Conservatory welcomes back the Summer of Love light art installation launched in 2017.  Photosynthesis transforms the Conservatory into a canvas of colorful light art every night.  The concert will revisit iconic songs of 1968 featuring legendary artists alongside new bright talents in the Bay Area music scene.


Dance to Piece of My Heart - performed by original members of Big Brother & The Holding Company. Time Has Come Today - performed by original members of the New Chambers Brothers and of course, Dance to the Music - performed by original members of Sly & The Family Stone.


This will be an All-Star concert featuring musicians from legendary bands:
Big Brother & The Holding Company,
It’s A Beautiful Day,  Jefferson Starship, Jerry Garcia Band, New Chambers Brothers,
New Riders of the Purple Sage, Rat Dog, and Sons of Champlin


Along with musicians from the newer generation of San Francisco bands:
ALO, Box Set, Brothers Comatose, Con Brio, Cosmic Twang, Midnight North,
Mother Hips, and Tarnation.

Three posters will be handed out to those that attend the event. Left to right by Darrin Brenner, Gregg Gordon and John Mavroudis
