Do you know about the music festival all the Bay Area kids are talking about? Forget Outsidelands and the Bluegrass Festival—the hot ticket for the tot-to-pre-teen set is the Tricycle Music Fest. This free concert series gets loud inside libraries across the Bay and is kicking off this weekend. This year’s all-star line-up includes Aaron Nigel Smith, Frances England, Lucky Diaz & the Family Jam Band, and The Not-It’s! and concerts are happening throughout the entire month of October. We’ve compiled the entire schedule for you below.

Tricycle Music Fest is presented jointly by the San Francisco Public Library and San Mateo County Library. Families, get ready for a hip-shaking, head bopping dance party explosion of indie fresh pop rock beats—only at the library! And, because playing is just as important as singing in early childhood learning, they will be raffling off one tricycle to a lucky concertgoer at each event. Skip the nap, grab your boogie shoes and catch unforgettable shows in October!
