These are the must-hit festivals, concerts, events, and most fun things to do this year in San Francisco, broken down by month. Every summer, Festival Napa Valley brings a diverse program of arts to Wine Country. More than 200 artists, wineries, resorts, theaters, restaurants, chefs, and vintners participate each year to highlight renowned artists and emerging talent through free concerts, film screenings, and patron dinners.

Jan Shrem, who left an indelible mark on California's wine industry through his dedication to the arts and charitable generosity, died last month at the age of 94. The founder of Clos Pegase winery in Calistoga, Shrem was also a consummate philanthropist, contributing to The MET Opera, Festival Napa Valley, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and the University of California at San Francisco Neurology Clinic. 

“Jan was more than a benefactor — he was a true friend and an inspiration,” said Rick Walker, president and CEO of Festival Napa Valley. “His warm spirit, generosity, and unwavering belief in the power of the arts have left an indelible mark on our festival and community.”
