Eastside Funk at Sausalito Jazz & Blues Festival
Details
The 2026 Sausalito Jazz & Blues Festival by the Bay presents Eastside Funk on the open stage at Gabrielson Park along the SF Bay. BTW, it's free! No cover charge. We've seen them a few times through the years and they've always delivered an exciting mix of jazz and blues (great horn section) that never fails to get us up to dance. See the video.
Again the same specs for meeting in the lawn area: get there early if you want to sit with the group. I'll have a Live Jazz Meetup flag up in the central-south region of the park. A few requirements: low-back beach chairs/tables or sit on your blanket for max stage views. We'll be group dancing for sure. Bring your food & bev or try the food trucks and local vendors. See the park map in Photo section and note where we'll camp-out. It can be warm evening temps, chilly rolling fog or rain to cancel.
