San Francisco business, Andytown Coffee, has been working here at the Golden Gate Park, providing its service for backstage hospitality with the production company putting on the three music events.

“You have people who are staying at some of these nicer hotels. ‘Hey, let’s go to this restaurant, let’s go to this coffee shop, let’s go to this park, and then let’s go spend the evening at the festival.’ And the next day. ‘Let’s go explore somewhere else in the morning,'” said Sean Sullivan, general manager of Andytown Coffee. “So, it’s pretty cool. It’s beyond just festival home, festival home. It’s an all-encompassing city experience.”
Officials say that after this weekend, an estimated 450,000 people will have come to San Francisco for these concerts.
The economic impact is expected be $150 million with hotels, restaurants and other small businesses benefiting. The tourism is also going to bring direct revenue to all of the city’s parks, not just Golden Gate Park.
