OUTDOOR FESTIVAL STREET MARKET
OFF THE GRID FOOD TRUCKS
This year’s Festival will feature a rotating selection of some of Off the Grid’s finest food truck vendors. Off the Grid began in 2010 with the simple idea of grouping Street Food creators together to create an experience that allows neighbors to connect with friends, and families to reconnect with each other. Since then, their markets have become an iconic and quintessential Bay Area activity, known for its unique food and cultural experiences. They currently operate 60+ weekly public events throughout the San Francisco Bay Area and serve over 1 million meals a year through their public sale events.
HAMMERLING WINES
Founded by winemaker Josh Hammerling in 2018, Hammerling Wines explores cool-climate California vineyards along the coast through the lens of low-intervention sparkling wine. Hammerling started working in cellars, vineyards and tasting rooms in Washington State in 2014. Many low-intervention experiments in friends’ garages led to a fascination with classic and experimental expressions of sparkling wine. In 2017 he moved to Berkeley to work for Broc Cellars and Donkey and Goat while he got his project off the ground. He settled in Berkeley for his winery to take advantage of its proximity to the Central Coast to the south and Mendocino to the north. It’s the ideal location for sourcing fruit from distinctive, responsibly farmed vineyards.
CELLARMAKER BREWING COMPANY
Founded in 2013 in San Francisco’s SoMa district Cellarmaker Brewing Company has become a pillar in the craft beer scene, celebrated for their creativity and variety as purveyors of beer. Cellarmaker produces a collaborative approach that values experimentation, freshness, and the art of fermentation. We are proud to announce the official beer of the San Francisco Jazz Festival is a collaborative partnership with Cellarmaker Brewing and will be available on-site at the Festival Beer Garden and the SFJAZZ Center.
