Panhandle Bandshell

This Saturday, June 23, the Golden Gate Park Panhandle is getting a music venue all its own. The Panhandle Bandshell opens with performances from noon to 7. This is an acoustic venue, so they won't be blasting away the neighbors.

The unveiling of the project will happen at 2pm, and they're boasting, "an incredible line-up of acoustic music, dance and aerial performances throughout the afternoon." Yes, this was born out of some Burning Man ideals, but they've collaborated with the SF Dept of the Environment and have support of a number of neighborhood and arts foundations. And the structure is made out of recycled and re-used materials!
