The Mission Festives Artistic Collective began as a group of friends enjoying a common desire for freedom and good times through the ways and means of good ol' American Rock and Roll. It is currently a group of highly skilled musicians, artists, photographers, promoters, writers, filmmakers, and interesting characters who perform acts of devastating creativity on a regular basis.

Their headquarters is the 24th and Mission house, located in the Mission District of San Francisco. From this centralized location they are able to keep their fingers on the heartbeat of the streets and create spontaneous events at locations like Dolores Park. You may have heard the term "Summer of Two Thousand Great". This motto has been used to promote Events and Happenings throughout the city that inspired participants in the San Francisco Scene and gained attention from news, television, internet and radio broadcasts. The Festives continue to provide free live concerts at Dolores Park on Sundays, broadcaston local radio, perform club gigs with great local acts, utilize sponsorships by great companies (like Randy's Rolling Papers) and create opportunities for people to experience True Soul Freedom in San Francisco - the Heart of the Mothership Connection.
