When the music festival returns to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park this August, it will feature a wedding venue called City Hall. Ticketholders looking to tie the knot during the downtime between their favorite artists now have the option of a small ceremony with an officiant, wedding photographer and seating for guests. It comes with a $350 price tag (on top of festival tickets), and gives you access to a locker for the day, drink tickets and a wedding lounge to get glammed up.
It’s important to note that couples must B.Y.O.-marriage license, which is easy to apply for online and can be picked up same day. Couples renewing their vows must bring a copy of their marriage certificate.
The addition of the wedding venue — located along McLaren Pass, between the Polo Fields and the Panhandle Stage — coincides with the 20th anniversary of the “Winter of Love,” when then-Mayor Gavin Newsom began issuing marriage licenses to San Francisco same-sex couples in 2004. Outside Lands plans to donate a portion of proceeds from these ceremonies to Lambda Legal, an LGBTQ+ rights nonprofit.
Outside Lands takes place in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park Aug. 9-11, featuring Tyler, the Creator, the Killers, Sturgill Simpson, Post Malone, Tyla, the Postal Service and more. Tickets and details here.
