La Cocina's 2nd Annual Night MarketLa CocinaFriday, August 16, 2013 from 6:00 PM to 10:00 PM (PDT) |
|
The 2nd Annual San Francisco Night Market will be the kick-off for the festivities of the 5th Annual San Francisco Street Food Festival. This event will partner well-known chefs from across the country with La Cocina program participants to create one-of-a-kind dishes in an environment reminiscent of the nighttime markets in Bangkok, Mexico City, and other vibrant cities of the world.
There will be music, dancing, drinks, twinkling lights, and the enjoyment of exciting and varied flavors.
In addition to food, music, and drinks, this year La Cocina is thrilled to welcome cultural games and activities to the Night Market. The games include familiar childhood favorites to more adventurous activities - from cornhole and skee ball in the North American station, Berlin-style ping pong in the Eastern European station, backgammon and a hookah lounge in the Middle Eastern station, and so much more.
Just remember, it is the Bay Area and Karl the Fog is always crashing parties, so bring a jacket and get ready to have a incredible time.
It is a pre-ticketed event, serving as an important fundraiser for La Cocina, which is a 501(c)3 charitable organization. For your $35 donation to La Cocina, you will receive entry to the event and plenty of entertainment.

La Cocina is a ground-breaking incubator that cultivates low-income food entrepreneurs as they formalize and grow their businesses. We do this by providing affordable, shared, commercial kitchen space; industry-specific technical assistance and services; and access to market opportunities and capital.
La Cocina works to solve the problems of equity in business ownership; inclusivity in the mainstream American marketplace; barriers to entry for women, people of color and immigrant business owners; and the high cost of entry in the food industry.
In an increasingly expensive economy, La Cocina businesses succeed at a rate that far exceeds the national average, graduating 60+ entrepreneurs, creating hundreds of jobs, and generating $16MM+ in revenue last year. More than 30 of those entrepreneurs have brick-and-mortar restaurants, which includes James Beard winners and nominees, Michelin Guide-featured destinations, and San Francisco Chronicle’s “Top 100 Restaurants” of 2019.
Our vision is that our program participants will become economically self-sufficient and contribute to a vibrant and diverse economy doing what they love to do.
