NEIGHBORHOOD 311

Another Planet Entertainment and Superfly Presents, in association with San Francisco’s Recreation and Park Department and the City of San Francisco are producing the 4th Annual Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival in Golden Gate Park (Polo Field, Speedway, Marx & Lindley Meadows) on Friday, August 12th - Sunday, August 14th, 2011.  This concert event helps benefit Golden Gate Park with a considerable portion of ticket sales going directly to Rec & Park.

We are committed to mitigating the impact of the event in your neighborhood. Below is information to help serve that purpose.

Community Hotline:
Again this year, we will have a Community Hotline to respond to any issues that may affect you during the festival.  The festival hotline will be available from 10:00am – 11:00PM on the festival days.
The hotline number is 415-379-9063.

Alternative Means of Transportation:
To help alleviate vehicle congestion in your neighborhood, we are strongly encouraging patrons to take alternative means of transportation to the festival, including MUNI, the Outside Lands shuttles, biking or walking.

Tow Trucks/Parking Control Officers:
We will have 2 dedicated tow trucks and 1 Parking Control Officer on each side of the Park to quickly respond to any blocked driveways or any other parking issues related to the Festival.
