Music on the Plaza is a weekly invitation to hear Bay Area musicians outside San Francisco’s Ferry Building. The October 29, 2026, performance is scheduled for 5 to 7 p.m. near Fort Point Beer Garden.
The Ferry Building also lists Trick-or-Treat inside the Marketplace from 4 to 6 p.m. on October 29. It is a separate children’s and family event, with trick-or-treating and crafts planned alongside games and music; its final hour overlaps with Music on the Plaza.
For a longer Ferry Building visit, the Marketplace map lists places such as Hog Island Oyster Company, Acme Bread Company and Dandelion Chocolate. Check individual business hours before making a stop: they vary. The Thursday farmers market ends at 2 p.m., so it won’t overlap with the evening performance.
