What's special
Other Minds is a long-running San Francisco festival of new and experimental music presented by the Other Minds nonprofit, founded in 1992 by Charles Amirkhanian and Jim Newman. It is known for world premieres, commissions, cross-tradition programming and guest composers, pairing evening concerts with panel discussions; recent editions run four days at the Brava Theater in the Mission District

Getting there
Nearest airport SFO.
How do I get to Other Minds Festival?
By car
Most people drive to Other Minds Festival. The nearest major airport is SFO, and from there it is a straightforward drive to the venue. Check current road and traffic conditions before you set off, and see parking below.
By train
No direct passenger rail to the venue was found. Drive, fly in, or use a shuttle instead.
By bus & public transit
Muni bus lines 27 Bryant, 12 Folsom, 67 Bernal, and 9 San Bruno pass within 1-2 blocks of the theater, and the 48 Quintara stops directly in front, for anyone continuing from a different BART/Muni transfer point
Book / info →Taxi & rideshare
International Terminal pickup is the Departures Level center island, Zones 14-17. No festival- or venue-specific rideshare guidance found on Brava's own site standard SFO-to-Mission-District trip
Book / info →Taxis and rideshare such as Uber and Lyft can be limited near the venue, especially late at night or in rural areas. Agree a pickup point and time in advance and keep a backup plan.
🅿 Parking
No on site parking. Use nearby lots or transit. Cost Metered street parking along 24th Street (meters checked 9am-6pm Mon-Sat); garage parking available at the San Francisco General Hospital parking garage. No prepay platform or reservation system found on the official page. Brava's own page frames street parking near the theater as limited, especially close to showtime, and recommends public transit as the more reliable option
🚙 Car hire
Compare car hire at SFO
Not the practical choice for this event specifically an indoor Mission District theater with limited/metered street parking and a strong, well-served BART/Muni connection (7-min walk from 24th St Mission Station); car hire mainly suits attendees combining the festival with wider Bay Area travel rather than the venue trip itself

Link coming soonAirbnb & private camping
San Francisco (including the Mission District itself) has substantial year-round Airbnb inventory. Other Minds is a small avant-garde classical showcase without the kind of documented demand spike large destination festivals produce, so any pricing pattern here is tied to general SF market rates rather than this event specifically
Search Airbnb →No Hipcamp inventory sits in or near the dense, urban Mission District itself. Marin County and Sonoma County have real Hipcamp private-land camping/glamping inventory roughly 45-75 min north of the city as a lower-relevance alternative for attendees who'd rather combine the trip with a camping getaway than an in-city stay same weaker-fit pattern the spec anticipates for a fully indoor, downtown-venue festival
