CITY HALL

About

Wedding bells will be ringing at our very own Golden Gate Park wedding venue, Outside Lands City Hall! Festival attendees can host their marriage or recommitment ceremony throughout the weekend in the Eucalyptus shade at the heart of McLaren Pass. Reserve your spot and tie the knot with your friends and festival family.

Outside Lands introduced Outside Lands City Hall as a festival experience in 2024 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the Winter of Love, which marked the first same-sex marriage ceremonies in the U.S. at San Francisco’s City Hall. A donation of proceeds from Outside Lands City Hall ceremonies at the festival will be donated to Lambda Legal, a legal and education fund dedicated to LGBTQ+ civil rights.
