Let’s Celebrate… ---> Hardly Strictly Bluegrass Festival Where: San Francisco, California, U.S. When: 3rd Oct – 5th Oct 2014 Hardly Strictly Bluegrass is the brainchild of Warren Hellman , the co-founder of multi-billion dollar private equity firms Hellman & Friedman and Matrix Partners. Being a high-roller like that apparently makes almost anything possible, because when Hellman decided back in 2001 that he’d like to foot the bill for a free bluegrass festival in Golden Gate Park, lo and behold, he made it happen. As Hellman told Forbes Magazine in 2006, “How could you have more fun than that? What the hell is money for if it isn’t for something like that?” Artists appreciate this completely non-commercial event, and big names continue to pack the stages each year. Hellman had been offered corporate sponsorship on numerous occasions, but he always declined, preferring to pay out of his own pocket than succumb to big business taking over the festival. This is one of the refreshing things about attending Hardly Strictly Bluegrass: you won’t be bombarded with advertising from soda companies, tech corporations or the like. What you will be bombarded with is three days of great music, thousands of people enjoying picnics in the sun, and the occasional cloud of pot smoke, lest you forget that this utopian society is San Francisco… So each October, when the weather is preternaturally beautiful, denizens of San Francisco and music lovers from around the globe gather in the meadows of Golden Gate Park to pay tribute to Warren Hellman’s generosity, to listen to his favorite music, to eat, drink and be merry, under the sun, in the grass…and for three days, it’s like the flower children have come home again!
