Brisbane Community Night at AT&T Park (July 2020)
It's that time of the year again, when we come together as a community to root on our San Francisco Giants. As we all know, the even years have been very good to us! So come on out and enjoy a night of family fun at the park!
Concerts in the Park (June-August)
The Brisbane Community Park is filled with music & cheer every summer when the Concert Series rolls around. Concerts are held on Friday nights from 6:00-8:30pm. One of the MOST important aspects of the planning process is sponsorship, as this summertime tradition is only made possible due to the generous tax-deductible donations made by Brisbane businesses and local families. Do you also enjoy the bands and think the concerts add value to the community? Then consider being a sponsor for this years series! Sponsors are recognized by the City Council, acknowledged in City publications, and listed on the concert banner hung on the gazebo in the park. Please click here for the sponsorship application. If you have questions, please contact Jeff Franco (415) 657-4320 or jfranco@brisbaneca.org Thank you in advance for your support of these wonderful community events!
