SF Music Day 2025

After 17 years of bringing you SF Music Day as a free community event, we've made an important transition.

As many have seen in the news, the current federal administration has drastically reduced spending in a wide range of sectors—including the arts–which, in turn, is affecting state and local agencies. 

To address expected shortfalls, we introduced a ticketed model, ensuring SF Music Day's sustainability and scope, despite historic funding cuts.

Your voice matters to us. Whether you are a longtime Music Day-attendee,  or considered attending for the first time in 2025, we want to hear from you.

Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts on this change. Your feedback will help inform how we sustain SF Music Day for the future. Thank you!

This portion of our survey has been developed by Candid to help understand the individuals that we serve, as we build an inclusive culture that respects diverse perspectives in all our work. We will reflect responses sharing aggregated data externally on our nonprofit Candid profile, and with funders and donors who request it.  

It is voluntary and you can select “Decline to state” on any question or scroll down to submit without answering. 

Thank you for participating.
