SF Music Week will return for its third edition from February 15-21, 2027, organized by Mayor Daniel Lurie, the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development, and Noise Pop. Organizers have opened a call for panel proposals for the Industry Summit and Artist Development Day, closing December 1, 2026.
Why it matters
The week-long program is designed to spotlight San Francisco's music community and give artists, industry professionals, and local organizations a platform to shape the programming. Residents and businesses also have a chance to host official partner events or explore sponsorship ahead of the citywide celebration.
SF Music Week is entering its third year, with two days of conference programming scheduled inside the Wilsey Center in the War Memorial Veterans Building. The full calendar of citywide Partner Events has not yet been published and is expected in early 2027.
