“Off the Grid” Waterfront Fest + Free Ferry Rides (Treasure Island)

San Francisco’s newest waterfront hangout is getting a weekly food party this spring. Off the Grid is launching a brand-new Saturday market at Treasure Island’s Cityside Park with food vendors, music, and family-friendly activities.

Every Saturday from April 11 to May 16 (11 am to 4 pm), expect a rotating lineup of 15+ food vendors serving Asian, Latin, European, and classic American favorites, plus desserts. There will also be live music, face painting for kids, free kite flying, and plenty of space to relax by the water.

Bonus: You can take a free ferry from the San Francisco Ferry Building (about an 8-minute ride), but you’ll need to RSVP in advance. Driving is also an option, with parking available on Treasure Island.

2026 Weekly Themes:
Apr 11 – Grand Opening – A full kickoff to launch the new market
Apr 18 – Best of SF – Celebrating the city’s food and outdoor energy
Apr 25 – Day on the Bay – A waterfront-themed day with breezy vibes
May 2 – Island Getaway – A preview of Treasure Island as a destination
May 9 – Pet Day – Bring your dog along for the fun
May 16 – City in Motion – A Bay to Breakers weekend celebration
