Fort Mason’s waterfront night market is back this Friday, April 24, with food trucks, craft vendors, live music, and a 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. run. (fortmason.org) Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture says the 2026 series opened on April 17 and continues as a free monthly event, not a one-off pop-up. The market is held on the Fort Mason campus at 2 Marina Boulevard and is open to all ages. (fortmason.org) The organizers say each market brings together more than 25 food and beverage vendors from Off the Grid and more than 50 artist and designer vendors curated by West Coast Craft. Stern Grove Festival is handling the live music lineup for the series. (fortmason.org) This Fort Mason format grew out of a holiday market that drew more than 10,000 attendees in December 2024, according to Fort Mason Center’s 2025 event page. The center then expanded it into a recurring Friday night series with Off the Grid and West Coast Craft. (fortmason.org) Secret San Francisco reported that the 2026 launch featured more than 25 food trucks, more than 50 craft vendors, and a music bill that included gloomy june and DJ HGMNY. The same report said the series is scheduled to continue on Friday nights through the rest of 2026. (secretsanfrancisco.com) Off the Grid’s Fort Mason market has a longer history than the current night-market boom. Tripadvisor’s listing for the venue describes it as San Francisco’s largest weekly food truck night market and says it is in its 12th season, with Friday hours listed as 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. (tripadvisor.com) Fort Mason’s own event page says the market spreads beyond food trucks, with workshops from resident groups, extended retail hours at Arion Press and FLAX Art & Design, and dining and bar service from Greens, The Interval, and Radhaus. The center also says DJs play at a waterfront lounge stage between Piers 2 and 3. (fortmason.org) For Friday, the practical details are simple: admission is free, parking is limited, and Fort Mason Center says the market runs until 10 p.m. on the waterfront campus.
