Where: Gabrielson Park, adjacent to the Sausalito Ferry landing area. (See map and more details below the videos.) Lawn Area Seating Rules: If you plan to watch for free from the lawn, only blankets and low-back beach chairs are allowed so that everyone can see the Sausalito music in the park.

Click here for the city’s detailed page on costs for single and full-season tables and how to sign up online. Thank you to the many community sponsors (listed below and on the poster above) who support this important program year after year.
Insiders Tip: If you like looking out at the Bay while you listen to the music, you can also sit on the steps in Gabrielson that face the shorline, and you’ll have no trouble hearing the bands.
Food: Community groups will be selling food and beverages. You can bring your own meal to Sausalito Jazz and Blues by the Bay, but please clean up and recycle.

What to Wear: Dress in layers. On some Friday afternoons the breeze off the Bay is cold and you’ll want to bundle up. Other times it’ll be hot and sunny. (I know, I know… this is the 247th time I’ve added “Dress in layers” to a post or article on OurSausalito.com.)
Replays: Sausalito Jazz and Blues by the Bay concerts are recorded and rebroadcast each week on Radio Sausalito on AM1610, which can also be accessed online and via podcast.
