I know I just said that the Mountain Winery was the best place in the Bay Area to see an outdoor concert. But it has a close second or tie for first in Stern Grove. This eucalyptus grove nestled into the outer reaches of the Sunset District has been providing a summer concert series since 1938. And best of all, it's free. The season kicks off today with Angelique Kidjo, a world music diva with reggae/Latin/African influence. The show starts at 2pm, but because it's free and the seating is a free-for-all, I recommend getting there as early as possible to stake out a good spot. You can buy food there, or bring your own picnic.
The rest of the season includes the usual appearances by the SF Ballet, SF Opera and the SF Symphony (a fabulous way to experience these cultural treasures gratis and in a gorgeous outdoor setting), as well as popular acts like Maceo Parker.
