Submitted by the Event Organizer

Celebrate local Black-owned businesses and get ready for the holiday season with a day of delicious food, crafts, community, and family fun at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. The south arcade of the Ferry Building will be transformed for a special holiday market featuring 20+ Bay Area food makers and designers, in partnership with the Fillmore-based Black-led marketplace In the Black. Find thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list, like artisan preserves, baked goods, skincare, apparel, and more. Entry is free and open to the public, with products available for purchase.

Pop-Ups on the Plaza is a series of quarterly events celebrating Bay Area Black entrepreneurs, including businesses in Foodwise’s Building Equity program. Pop-Ups on the Plaza is a Port sponsored event brought to you by Foodwise. This program is proudly funded in partnership with the San Francisco Human Rights Commission’s Dream Keeper Initiative.
