The Stern Grove Music Festival is the longest-running free outdoor music event in the United States. Free concerts have been held in Stern Grove every summer since 1938. It is an important part of the community since it provides high quality concerts free of charge. Many people take advantage of this valuable resource. Every year the concert series is attended by a total of 100,000 visitors. A wide variety of music is present in the concert series, which usually contains ten concerts. In addition, the Festival is committed to helping the health of the community, by having blood drives and information fairs.

This website will look at the history of the Grove, how the free concerts are paid for, and what types of people attend the Festival.

Additionally, a first hand account of one of the concerts is provided along with the complete Summer 2000 schedule.
