By - posted 5/23/2019 No Comment

Presidio Twilight is back for its sixth season, and it’s better than ever. This year, San Francisco’s largest campfire features a delicious selection of international cuisine from a stellar lineup of local vendors from 5-9 pm every Thursday from mid-May to September.

New for 2019 are lantern-lit communal lawn domes (available to all on a first-come, first-served basis) that offer park visitors a cozy place to enjoy a meal, and bring added comfort to the event’s unique “picnic at dusk” atmosphere.

Off the Grid street food vendors will serve up dishes tapas-style while you relax under the stars on the Presidio’s Main Parade Ground.
