"It’s probably no surprise to you to hear that we, too, have felt the changes of the Mission" writes La Cocina of the relocation of their annual summer Street Food Festival to the Dogpatch. What was founded in 2009 as an ad hoc fair from the food incubator for low-income women and immigrant entrepreneurs is all grown up. And this year, La Cocina is joined by two co-hosts from whom you can expect a full musical accompaniment. Those are local music pushers Noise Pop and the newly minted Midway, a Dogpatch-based creative complex from the team behind Mighty and Public Works.

Yes, this year everyone is headed to Pier 70, since last year tested the limits of Folsom Street with 80 vendors and about 50,000 visitors. This year there will be over 100! "We’ll always love our Mission roots," continues La Cocina, "they are essential to who we are, and we will be providing shuttle service from the Mission to this year’s event for those of you who still show up here by mistake."

That's convenient if you missed the news on the move, but there are some other great ways to get to Pier 70. None of those ways is driving as there isn't any designated event parking.

There are two other big changes afoot this year. First, the festival is two days — Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. And second, there are no cordoned off drinking pens. That's right, enjoy your adult beverage wherever you'd like!

Bauer's will be providing a free shuttle service to Pier 70 from 11:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.

NOTE: Though free, you must sign up in advance for a shuttle to obtain a pass!

Shuttles will be picking up and dropping off at the following locations:

Civic Center, Ferry Building and La Cocina (Folsom at 24th Street)

Bicycle parking will be available at the corner of Illinois Street and 22nd Street for you to park your bike on your way to the festival.

Now, go take out a bunch of cash, start starving yourself, and feast your eyes on the full list of vendors. In the spirit of the festival, you're encouraged to try something you haven't heard of. Last, don't miss the suds: A flight of beer options are on tap at the Whole Foods Market Hops & Crafts Beer Garden.
