Saturday, April 25 at 9am PT:
Latin GRAMMY Award-Winning musician, author, activist, and educator, MISTER G, will unite children and families around the world as part of a special Earth Day and 150th anniversary of Golden Gate Park concert.
This live streaming event will incorporate musical performances and tributes by notable Bay Area musicians, including Michael Franti and Narada Michael Walden. The concert will feature MISTER G’s “Mundo Verde/Green World” kids music video. Viewers will also embark on a virtual exploration of the park to discover the iconic windmills, bison paddock, dinosaur forest, Conservatory of Flowers, and more.

Marta Lindsey, author of the newly published children's book Golden Gate Park: An A to Z Adventure, hosts two livestream concerts that feature special musical guests, book readings, trivia games and art. The book’s illustrator Michael Wertz, who produced Golden Gate Park’s 150th anniversary children’s theme song, will also unveil a new song “B is Bison” during the concerts.
A portion of book sales supports the park. A weekly A to Z kids art contest will inspire young artists, with winning entries being awarded copies of the book and specially-designed GGP150 kids bison plushies.
