FoodieLand San Francisco: Weekend Street-Food Festival

FoodieLand will open its San Francisco-area festival on Friday, May 22, at Cow Palace in Daly City, according to the event’s official city page. The three-day event runs through Sunday, May 24, not Monday, despite some third-party listings that describe a longer weekend window. Organizers list food vendors, drinks, live entertainment, parking and entry rules on the festival’s official website. The event is part of FoodieLand’s 2026 touring schedule, which also includes stops in Fort Worth, San Jose and Los Angeles. ### When and where is the Bay Area event actually happening? FoodieLand says the San Francisco event will be held at Cow Palace, 2600 Geneva Avenue, Daly City, California 94014, from May 22 to May 24, 2026. The official schedule page lists San Francisco, California, at Cow Palace for those dates, and the city-specific page carries the same timing. Friday hours are listed as 3 p.m. to 10 p.m., while Saturday and Sunday hours are 1 p.m. to 10 p.m. The event page says there is no limit on how long attendees can stay once inside, but tickets are for single-use entry and there is no re-entry. ### How big is the festival, and what are organizers promising? FoodieLand’s Bay Area social media promotion says the San Francisco stop will include more than 250 vendors and more than 2,000 flavors. On its Eventbrite organizer page, FoodieLand describes itself as a national food festival producer that brings together local businesses, food vendors and entertainment. The official San Francisco lineup page lists a long roster of food and drink sellers, including AguaFrescaQueen, Aki Takoyaki, Birrieria Michi, Blue Maine Lobster, Churromadness, Gen Korean BBQ, Giant Deep Fried Squid, Hayba Shawarma, Honolulu Sushi Taco and Master Dimsum. The page also lists dessert, coffee and boba vendors alongside savory stalls. ### What can visitors expect on the ground? Cow Palace is the listed venue for the event, and FoodieLand says parking will cost $15 per vehicle. The organizer says attendees can enter via Geneva Avenue and the Cow Palace, while also encouraging public transit and rideshare. The event page says children age 5 and under will be admitted free. The same page says only service animals are allowed and that all attendees are subject to security searches on entry. FoodieLand also lists prohibited items, including large bags, coolers, bikes, scooters, drones, illegal drugs, pepper spray and weapons. Permitted items include small handbags, clear bags, reusable and single-use bottles, wagons, strollers, umbrellas and to-go containers, according to the event FAQ. ### Are tickets still available, and where are they being sold? Eventbrite lists “FoodieLand Food Festival - Daly City” beginning Friday, May 22, 2026, at Cow Palace Arena & Event Center. The listing identifies Shulamite Yang as the presenter for the Daly City event, while FoodieLand’s broader Eventbrite organizer page shows other 2026 festival stops and starting prices for several cities. FoodieLand’s Bay Area social media posts say tickets are sold online only. The official San Francisco page links visitors to ticketing from the event information page and from the lineup page. ### Why does the listing say San Francisco if the venue is in Daly City? FoodieLand brands the stop as “San Francisco,” but the official venue address is in Daly City. That is consistent across the organizer’s city page, lineup page and Eventbrite listing, which places the event at Cow Palace Arena & Event Center in Daly City. The organizer’s 2026 event schedule uses city labels for each stop, including San Francisco, San Jose and Los Angeles, while pairing them with specific venues. In the Bay Area, that means the San Francisco-branded stop is physically staged just south of the city line at Cow Palace. May 22 is the next milestone on FoodieLand’s 2026 calendar, with gates scheduled to open at 3 p.m. Friday in Daly City. After the Cow Palace weekend, FoodieLand’s official event schedule lists its next California stop as San Jose at the Santa Clara County Fairgrounds from June 26 to June 28, 2026.
