Fresh Start 2023 Set Times and Essential Info

Are you setting the year off right at Fresh Start? Get ready for the weekend ahead with set times and all other essential information!

New year, new us! It’s crazy to think that 2023 is coming to a close already, but the year can’t end without New Year’s festivals. Taking over The Midway once again is Fresh Start, which, as its name suggests, is the perfect way to celebrate this year and welcome the new one. Come for the fun at The Midway’s signature block party format, which utilizes both the venue’s indoor and outdoor spaces. Across four stages, Fresh Start will showcase local San Francisco talent alongside some of dance music’s biggest names like ODESZA, Louis the Child, Kaskade, Justin Martin, and many more.

Taking place from Saturday, December 30 – Monday, January 1, attendees can enjoy a wide range of genres from bass to progressive and all shades of house. Things kick off at 1pm on Saturday and Monday and will continue until 10pm on Saturday and Monday. New Year’s Eve will start later at 3pm and go until 1am. Highs are expected to be in the low 60s with a chance of rain. San Francisco weather can be chilly at night, so pack layers to stay warm. Plenty of food and drink options will be available to purchase on-site.

A limited amount of both single-day and 3-day tickets are still available for both GA and VIP. Tickets will be sold at the door if the event does not sell out beforehand, but we highly recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. If you’re in the Bay Area and still don’t have your New Year’s Weekend plans locked down, definitely come dance with us at Fresh Start!

While this small number of bad apples in the bunch doesn’t define an entire crowd, some opportunistic people come to these events to take advantage of unsuspecting partygoers, and it’s essential to be mindful of your valuables while at Fresh Start.
