Treasure Island
Music Festival is an annual two day
music festival that takes place on
Treasure Island, California, located
in the San Francisco Bay. The
festival is produced by Noise Pop
and the Another Planet Entertainment
(APE). The first day of the festival
consists of Electronica and Hip
Hop/Rap influenced performers while
the second day consists of Rock and
Indie rock influenced performers.
Each day the sets are split between
two separate, nearby stages, however
the performances are staggered such
that attendees can listen to every
performer. Typically, the
northernmost stage is the main stage
on which the headliner plays.
The music festival is noted to be
rain or shine. Although the weather
in the San Francisco Bay Area is
typically mild, rain and wind in
autumn is not uncommon and poses a
challenge to both attendees and
performers.
Parking on the
island is limited and as such, each
year the majority of private
vehicles are left in the parking lot
of AT&T Park and a shuttle service
is provided to the island. The
organizers also claim this reduces
traffic congestion on the island.
The Treasure Island Music Festival
has also been noted for its emphasis
on reducing carbon emissions:
organizers provide zero emission bus
services to the island from the city
of San Francisco and emphasize the
use of composting.
Treasure Island
is an artificial island in the San
Francisco Bay between San Francisco
and Oakland, and an emerging
neighborhood of San Francisco.
Treasure Island is connected by a
small isthmus to Yerba Buena Island.
It was created in 1936 and 1937,
from fill dredged from the bay, for
the Golden Gate International
Exposition. According to the United
States Census Bureau, Yerba Buena
Island and Treasure Island together
have a land area of 2.334 km2 (0.901
sq mi) with a total population of
2,500 as of the 2010 census. The
island is named after the novel
Treasure Island, by Robert Louis
Stevenson, who lived in San
Francisco from 1879 to 1880.
