FoodieLand San Francisco Food & Drink Fest

FoodieLand’s San Francisco Bay Area event opened on Friday, May 22, at the Cow Palace in Daly City and is scheduled to continue through Sunday, May 24, according to the festival organizer and the venue. The event is being marketed as a family-friendly outdoor food festival with vendors, games, shopping and live entertainment. FoodieLand’s San Francisco page says the stop is part of its 2026 event calendar, and the Cow Palace calendar lists the festival on May 23. Third-party event listings and local event calendars also show the Bay Area dates as May 22-24. ### Where is the San Francisco FoodieLand actually being held? The Cow Palace at 2600 Geneva Avenue in Daly City is the listed venue for the San Francisco Bay Area event. FoodieLand’s official city page identifies the location as the Cow Palace, and local event listings use the same address. Daly City rather than San Francisco is the physical site, even though the event is promoted as the San Francisco stop. The Cow Palace sits just south of San Francisco’s city line and is a common venue for Bay Area events marketed to San Francisco audiences. ### What are the dates and hours for this weekend’s event? May 22-24, 2026, are the dates listed on FoodieLand’s official San Francisco page. The same page and local event listings show Friday hours of 3 p.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday hours of 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday, May 24, is the final scheduled day of the Bay Area event. As of the organizer’s current event page, the festival remains listed as active through that date. ### How big is the vendor lineup? FoodieLand’s San Francisco lineup page lists a large roster of food and drink sellers, dessert stands and specialty vendors. Funcheap, a San Francisco events site carrying organizer-submitted details, says the event features 175 vendors representing foods and flavors from across the globe. The official lineup includes vendors selling items such as takoyaki, birria tacos, lobster rolls, sugarcane juice, boba drinks, shawarma, pupusas, dim sum, tanghulu and Korean corn dogs. The same page also lists beverage and dessert sellers alongside food booths and artisan-style vendors. ### What does a ticket cost, and what else should visitors know? General admission is listed at $12 on multiple Bay Area event listings tied to the May 22-24 dates. Funcheap’s event page also says parking at the Cow Palace is $15 per vehicle and charged by the venue. FoodieLand’s official San Francisco page says only service animals are permitted. The organizer also provides a dedicated event map and lineup page for visitors planning where to go once inside. ### Is this a chef festival or more of a night market-style food event? FoodieLand describes itself as a food festival producer and says its events bring together local talent, small businesses and global flavors. The organizer’s language and the San Francisco lineup point more toward a large-format vendor market than a chef-demo festival. Funcheap’s organizer-submitted description says the event is inspired by Asia’s open-air night markets and includes food vendors, artisan shopping, carnival games and live musical performances on two stages. That description matches the official lineup and event map, which emphasize booths and attractions rather than a chef showcase schedule. ### Where can people check the latest lineup and map before going? FoodieLand’s official San Francisco city page links directly to a lineup page and an event map for the Cow Palace stop. Those pages list the current vendors and show the layout for food, shopping and performance areas. Sunday’s session is scheduled to run from 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the Cow Palace, according to the organizer’s San Francisco event page. FoodieLand’s broader 2026 calendar lists the Bay Area stop before later events including Fort Worth in June.
