NAPA, CALIFORNIA – May 27 – Fantastic Negrito performs on the JaM Cellars Stage during the first day of the 2022 BottleRock Napa Valley Music Festival. Sure, it has felt like summer ever since the kids started getting out of school a few weeks back. Yet, the calendar says that the season doesn’t officially start until this week – on June 21.And one of the most tuneful options, of course, is to go see some live music.
So, we’re going to forget about those kinds of shows and focus on events that cost absolutely nothing to attend.There are hundreds of admission-free music events happening over the Bay Area during the warm weather months, offering up everything from rock and jazz to blues and country.
