Live Music by LA GENTE SF, DJ Set by mare.e.fresh, and Gallery Chats from Friday Night at OMCA brings an infectious global sound to the Garden Stage as San Francisco’s LA GENTE SF delivers a high-energy live performance blending Cumbia, Salsa, and Reggaeton. Led by singer-songwriter Rafa Sarria Bustamante, the group fuses rhythms and cultural influences from across Latin America and the Caribbean with a distinct San Francisco flavor, creating a joyful dance party that brings audiences together. Keeping the party going, Bay Area DJ and producer mare.e.fresh takes over the Amphitheater with a feel-good mix of funk, Latin, Disco, and Y2K throwbacks. Blending familiar favorites with fun surprises and plenty of dancefloor energy, her set creates an upbeat soundtrack for celebrating, connecting, and enjoying the evening at the Museum. Alongside an exceptional event experience, Friday Nights at OMCA also features Gallery Chats from 5:30–7:30 pm. Putting a twist on the traditional museum tour, Gallery Chats invite visitors to engage in meaningful conversations, share personal reflections, and explore new perspectives on the artwork, artifacts, and stories throughout OMCA’s galleries. Enthusiastic volunteer facilitators can be found floating between all of OMCA’s galleries, including its Great Hall Special Exhibitions, throughout the evening. Look for the blue “Let’s Chat” shirts to join the conversation. Gallery Chats are included with Museum admission.
