‘Portola Festival’ returns to San Francisco's Pier 80

The “Portola Festival” returns to San Francisco with various groups performing on an outdoor stage at Pier 80. Last year's weekend event caused concerns over crowd control and music heard across the bay to Alameda. Pete Mar, host of the ‘B-Sides’ TV program, relays information from the creator and producer of the festival to ease community members while diverging into music history. (09-28-23)

Much more worthwhile music festival than on San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department 👍🏻👍🏻

They should rethink extremely loud events like this on the water. The reverberations through Bay waters was extraordinary. I am across the bay and could feel the vibrations through the ground. It was absolutely nauseating. Birds and fish are particularly vulnerable to this type of noise pollution. I like the artists that performed but it's not music anymore when you are that far away and all you get is reverberation.
