Basics:
The Grateful Dead’s 60th anniversary marks six decades of musical exploration, countercultural influence, and a devoted fanbase that continues to thrive. We are grateful to our Mayor, Another Planet, Park & Rec and Dead & Company for bringing this event where it should be...in GOLDEN GATE PARK.
From their humble beginnings in 1965 to becoming one of the most legendary jam bands in history, the Dead’s improvisational spirit, genre-blending sound, and timeless message of community and freedom have left an indelible mark on music and culture.
Love on Haight is Dedicated to ensuring that the community and the spirit that the Dead of created and emulated...carries on!
