The 3rd Annual San Pedro Music Festival (SPMF) is coming Sunday, September 10, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., at the historic Warner Grand Theater, 478 W 6th Street in San Pedro.

“We are excited to produce the 3rd Annual San Pedro Music Festival as the final event at the Warner Grand Theater on the very last day before the time-honored venue closes its doors for a highly anticipated renovation. In other words, we are going to raise the roof before the construction crew does!” said beloved San Pedro resident and world-renowned soul jazz veteran Windy Barnes. “The Festival is also a ‘party with a purpose’ fund raiser for the organization’s Heal My Family Program.”
