San Francisco’s Portola Music Festival 2025 is returning to Pier 80 on September 20–21, 2025, marking its third consecutive year at this iconic waterfront venue. Pier 80, a former industrial shipping terminal, offers a raw, urban backdrop that sets Portola apart from other festivals held in parks or open fields. The festival transforms this concrete expanse into a vibrant celebration of electronic music, featuring stages like the Crane Stage and the Warehouse Stage, each adding to the unique atmosphere of the event . This industrial setting, combined with the festival’s cutting-edge production, creates an immersive experience that has captivated attendees since its inception. With a history of sold-out events and a lineup that continues to draw top-tier talent, Portola has solidified its place as a premier destination for electronic music enthusiasts in the Bay Area.
