The Stern Grove Festival continues its current season of free concerts at San Francisco's Sigmund Stern Recreation Grove this Sunday but you don't have to have a ticket to enjoy the music live.

The popular festival released its full schedule of summer concerts for its 86th season last April that includes punk pioneer Patti Smith and a festival closing performance by modern psychedelic rockers the Flaming Lips.

The free festival concerts take place on Sunday afternoons during the summer through August 20. This Sunday, legendary blues guitarist Buddy Guy brought his "Damn Right Farewell Tour" to the Grove after an opening set from fellow six-string blues virtuoso Eric Gale.  

This year marks the first time CBS News Bay Area and KBCW are partnering with Stern Grove to broadcast and livestream most of this season's concerts. The final show of the season with the Flaming Lips is the last concert that will be carried on air and online. Information on how to watch is below.
