The Fern Alley Music Series Presents-Makrú
About this Event
Welcome to the Fern Alley Music Series! Established in 2023, the Fern Alley Music Series has quickly become a beloved community event, celebrating music, art, and culture in the heart of the Lower Polk.
Experience the Fern Alley Music Series—where music, art, and community unite!
Join us Saturdays, May–December 2025, for a vibrant marketplace featuring art, crafts, live painting, vintage finds, and local merchants.
Presented by: Music City Entertainment (501c3), Lower Polk CBD & Polk Neighbors
Landing in San Francisco from different parts of the world, various characters got together for different motives and goals at the end of 2008 and became Makrú, a musical tool to express their points of view, and ideals and support the causes they believe in, chasing equality and unifying people along the way while
doing what they love. With an acoustic flavor that fusion Rumba Flamenca, Ska, Reggae, Cumbia, and other global beats, lyrics in Spanish and English that bring reality, fiction, hope, and joy Makrú sounds like smashing the earth, and playing it on a record player.
Live music from Makrú: 1pm-4pm
