Yerba Buena Gardens Festival manages the rental of the Gardens venues for private receptions, parties, food services and special events. All proceeds from rentals benefit the many free artistic and community events that take place in the Gardens each year.

The Gardens are located directly above the Moscone Center and is an urban oasis in the heart of San Francisco's newest, most vibrant neighborhood. Such close proximity makes Yerba Buena Gardens uniquely suited to the convention industry which makes up such a large part of San Francisco’s commerce.  

The beautifully designed Yerba Buena Gardens complex includes a wide variety of sculptures, fountains, a beautiful and peaceful “waterwall”, restaurants, entertainment and a variety of galleries and museums.

In addition to being conveniently located near the Moscone Center, YBG is walking distance from the prestigious shops at Union Square and San Francisco’s Financial District. Many of the city’s hotels are also located nearby.

Several open spaces are available to rent for private and corporate events. It is also possible to erect tenting in the Gardens.
