History

Formerly known as Park in the Park, Gallagher Square renamed in 2020 following a sponsorship agreement. Originally designated as a public park space within Petco Park, it has evolved into a versatile venue for concerts, festivals, and community events - when it’s not hosting Padres games. It’s undergone costly renovations over the years in order to transform into one of the city’s premier venues for larger touring acts, making it an exciting and vital addition to downtown’s live music and nightlife scene. Recently, major acts like Jimmy Eat World, Pixies, Modest Mouse, Darius Rucker, Hozier, Daniel Caesar, Dom Dolla, and more have played.
