Weather Reality Check

August in SF is cold. The fog rolls in by 4pm. Expect highs in the 60s°F and lows in the 50s°F. Layer up — this isn't your typical summer festival.

Where to Stay

The Inner Sunset, Inner Richmond, and Haight neighborhoods are walking distance. Hayes Valley, Mission, and downtown SF are a BART or rideshare ride away. Book hotels 2+ months out.

Food Inside

Outside Lands brings 80+ Bay Area restaurants on-site. Highlights usually include Mission Chinese, Izakaya Rintaro, Rich Table, and State Bird Provisions. Arrive hungry.
