Presidio Pop Up Hits its Stride

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (May 14, 2026) — Presidio Pop Up ramps up for the summer season starting Memorial Day, with an expanded lineup of culturally diverse food vendors and extended weekend hours. Now in its fourth year, the popular program continues to evolve alongside the park it serves, shaped by insights from thousands of people. Visitors can enjoy food seven days a week at Presidio Tunnel Tops, surrounded by picnic areas, an expansive lawn, and Golden Gate views.

Four new vendors join a rotating roster of more than two dozen vendors offering cuisine from around the world – from diverse regions of Africa, Asia, and more. New at Pop Up this summer:

• Kona Ice is a mobile shaved ice truck that delivers a one-of-a-kind tropical experience. Guests can customize their own icy treat using the signature Flavorwave.
• Bao Bao Express serves up a menu of delicious, crowd-pleasing offerings inspired by Chinese street food – from soft, savory bao buns and flavorful rice bowls to satisfying sides.
• Swahili Spot offers a flavorful menu inspired by East African coastal cuisine, featuring dishes rich in spices and tradition.
• WhatCoffee & Bakery offers a menu centered on handcrafted coffee, specialty drinks, and a wide selection of freshly baked goods.

Several vendors back by popular demand include Adelita’s Antojitos, Donut Petit, and Rye Bar. For the entire roster of vendors and their schedules see here.

This May, Presidio Pop Up gets a new look, with a colorful ground mural by Presidio Activator alum, artist, and activist Favianna Rodriguez. The art centers the park’s flowers, leaves, and insects, and reminds viewers that food begins with flowers. It invites people to stay at Pop Up longer, gather, and experience the park more fully.

“Presidio Pop Up represents a thoughtful evolution of how we serve visitors in this national park site,” said Allison Stone, Presidio Trust director of visitor engagement. “Since launching four years ago, it’s become an important part of the Presidio’s growing food scene.”

Vendors are finding a vibrant community and opportunities to grow their businesses.

“Beyond the stunning views, the Presidio offers a unique sense of community and connection, where people slow down to spend time together,” said Christna Lim and Yohanes Ng, the husband-and-wife team behind D’Grobak Bay Area. “As a small Indonesian food business, we are honored to share our culture in such an iconic, welcoming setting.”

Juni Walsh, proprietor of Stylewise Catering & Poke a Go Go! said, “We love being a part of this community, and it is a huge asset to our company’s continued success. As a matter of fact, we created Stylewise Catering because we started getting more and more catering opportunities, which all started for the most part by being in the Presidio.”

Seasonal Hours May 25 – October:

Weekdays (Mon–Fri): 9 a.m. – 3 p.m.

About the Presidio and the Presidio Trust

The Presidio of San Francisco, located within the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and the ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone, is one of America’s most visited national park sites. Spanning 1,500 acres next to San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge, the Presidio is among the most biologically diverse parks in America. It became a military post under three flags, and subsequently a national park site in 1994. Today, its facilities have been reinvented as museums, restaurants, hotels, homes, and offices. The Presidio Trust is the federal agency that stewards the Presidio, in partnership with the National Park Service and with support from the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy. The Trust sustains the Presidio by leasing homes and workplaces and offering visitor amenities. Learn more at presidio.gov and @presidiosf.
