SF Music Week 2026 celebrates the city’s rich music legacy and exists to strengthen the sector’s growth and economic vitality. This citywide celebration will spotlight partner events across San Francisco’s renowned music scene, as well as present two conferences - Industry Summit and Artist Development Day - that bring together creators, innovators, and industry leaders to inspire collaboration, share knowledge, and advance the future of music in the Bay Area.

On February 28th, 2023, the San Francisco health officer terminated the local state of emergency and rescinded several health orders and directives. There are no current local health orders that apply to the general public, although there are recommendations for masking in healthcare settings.

Individuals are encouraged to consider masking based on location, crowd, and personal risk factors, especially when an individual or the people they live with are vulnerable to the worst outcomes of COVID-19. 

It is still strongly recommended that people stay home whenever they feel sick in order to protect others around them and follow the State’s isolation and quarantine guidance (see the guidance for isolation and what to do after close contact published by the California Department of Public Health).
