The late Grateful Dead legend Bob Weir will be remembered in his hometown, San Francisco, this weekend with a special tribute to his life and career.

“Homecoming: Celebrating the life of Bobby Weir” will move through SF this Saturday, Jan. 17 at Civic Center Plaza, starting at 3:45pm ET.

The free public gathering will remember Weir, whose “music, spirit and humanity shaped generation,” reads a statement from organizers. “Together, we will pay tribute in the community and collective heartbeat that he created.”

Weir, the guitarist and jam-band pioneer who co-founded the Grateful Dead and continued their legacy in the 21st century with Furthur, Dead & Company and more, died last week due to underlying lung issues after fighting cancer. He was 78.

Reps say this weekend’s special gathering is not a concert and there will be no live performances, but will instead center on “gratitude, remembrance, and togetherness,” along with special tributes to honor the late artist. 

Also, a procession will travel three blocks down Market Street between 7th and 9th Streets at approximately 3:30pm ET.
