August 9-11, 2024

Outside Lands is located within Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA.

• Backpacks and bags made of clear plastic, clear vinyl, or clear PVC
• Small bags, fanny-packs, purses up to 6” x 8” x 3” (do not have to be clear)
• Empty dedicated hydration packs with a bladder capacity of under 2.5L/150 in. and no more than one additional pocket.
• Standard size backpacks with hydration bladders will not be permitted.

Yes, Outside Lands is an all ages event. We strive to make Outside Lands a safe and unforgettable experience for each and every attendee.

Outside Lands Works is a charitable program that invests in the cultural vitality of the Bay Area. We support local non-profit music and arts education programs serving underprivileged communities while simultaneously focusing resources and attention to various issues impacting our community. Over the past 5 years, Outside Lands Works has donated more than $1 million to local organizations.

The Mission (formerly known as Eco Lands) is Outside Lands’ cause-oriented space within the festival, dedicated to helping patrons discover, learn more about and get involved with local, difference-making organizations. Stay tuned for more information on our 2024 cause and non-profit partners. 

Each year we work alongside Clean Vibes and the San Francisco Department of the Environment to achieve the highest possible waste diversion rates of any festival in the country. All of the single-use cups, plates, bowls, and utensils are 100% compostable at Outside Lands thanks to our sustainability partner Eco-Products. The festival also provides hydration stations throughout the park for filling your reusable drinking vessels.
