FoodieLand San Francisco Weekend Food Festival

FoodieLand opened its San Francisco-area festival on Friday, May 22, at Cow Palace in Daly City, beginning a three-day run that continues through Sunday, May 24. The event is being marketed by organizer FoodieLand as a large-format outdoor food festival with food vendors, artisan sellers, games and live entertainment. Official event pages list Friday hours of 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday hours of 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are sold online in advance, and the venue says no tickets will be sold at the door. ### Where is the San Francisco festival actually being held? Cow Palace is the listed site for the 2026 San Francisco edition, with the venue address given as 2600 Geneva Avenue in Daly City, California. FoodieLand’s city page and the Cow Palace event listing both identify the location, even though the event is promoted under the San Francisco name. The Cow Palace listing says the festival is set in the South Parking Lot. The venue also says ADA parking is available and that public transportation, rideshare and carpooling are encouraged. ### What are the dates and hours for this weekend? May 22 through May 24 are the dates shown on FoodieLand’s official San Francisco page. That differs from the broader context note attached to this card, which said May 22-25; the organizer’s own event page and the Cow Palace listing both show a three-day schedule ending Sunday, May 24. Friday’s session runs from 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., according to the organizer and venue. Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24, are scheduled from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. ### How big is the vendor lineup? FoodieLand’s San Francisco lineup page lists a large roster of food and drink sellers, including Aki Takoyaki, Birrieria Michi, Blue Maine Lobster, Cheese Wheel Pasta, Egghausted, HGG Tanghulu, Honolulu Sushi Taco and Master Dimsum. A separate event listing carried by Funcheap described the festival as featuring 175 vendors representing foods and flavors from across the globe. FoodieLand describes itself on its website and Eventbrite organizer page as a nationwide food festival producer. The organizer says its events combine multicultural food offerings with artisan merchandise, games and live music performances. ### What does it cost to get in, park and bring children? The Cow Palace listing says admission tickets must be purchased online before arrival and that no tickets will be sold at the door. The same page says all sales are non-refundable. Parking is listed at $15 per vehicle at Cow Palace. Children age 5 and under are admitted free, according to both the venue listing and FoodieLand’s San Francisco information page. ### What should visitors know before they go? FoodieLand’s San Francisco page says there is no re-entry, meaning tickets are for single-use entry only. The organizer also says guests may stay as long as they like once inside. The official FAQ says only service animals are permitted. Prohibited items listed by the organizer include large bags and oversized backpacks, coolers, bikes, scooters, drones, weapons, illegal drugs and pepper spray. Permitted items include small bags, clear bags, reusable or single-use bottles, wagons, strollers, umbrellas, diaper bags and medical bags. ### Will alcohol and entertainment be part of the event? The Cow Palace event page says alcoholic beverages will be available at the festival. FoodieLand’s website says the event includes live entertainment, and the organizer’s broader description highlights live music performances as part of its format. Sunday, May 24, is the final day listed for the 2026 San Francisco-area event. FoodieLand’s San Francisco page says the lineup, transportation details, event map and ticketing information remain available on the organizer’s website for attendees planning visits over the rest of the weekend.
