A new addition to this year's fest, taking place August 9-11, is the ability to try 20 "secret" snacks from 20 restaurants for $20.
Grub has always been put on the same high level as music at San Francisco’s annual Outside Lands festival, and this year is no different. The massive fest, which takes place Aug. 9-11 in Golden Gate Park, will feature food and drink from 100 Bay Area restaurants (including 16 newcomers) and a new feature that lets you snack for cheap from 20 different places.
The loooooong list is posted below, but to mention a couple of fresh additions to 2024’s lineup there is the renowned Tenderloin banh mi shop, Saigon Sandwich; San Francisco’s Mandalay Restaurant, winner of a 2024 James Beard America’s Classics Award; the elevated Rockridge Japanese eatery, Ramen Shop; and Copas, whose specialty is smashburger tacos. Returning to the fest are well-known establishments like San Francisco’s Woodhouse Fish Co., Mamahuhu and Suppenküche, as well as Oakland’s Parche, Wahpepah’s Kitchen, FOB Kitchen and Jo’s Modern Thai.
Ninety-four percent of the food lineup in 2024 comes from minority- and female-led restaurateurs and chefs, the festival says. The beverage lineup will be announced in a few weeks.
New this year is a festival add-on called Bites of the Bay. It sounds like a pretty sweet deal: Pay $20 for the ticket, and you can sample 20 “secret” snacks from 20 of more than 70 participating restaurants. These include a Smashburger Slider from Smish Smash, a Mini Lobster Roll from Woodhouse Fish Co., half a Birria Grilled Cheese from El Garage and a Mini Cookie Dough Sundae from Out the Dough.
As with past years, there are also higher-dollar culinary experiences like the Golden Gate Club featuring chefs with Michelin and James Beard credentials. And VIP pass holders get access to even more dishes from restaurants like A16, Kantine, KAIYO and Woodhouse Fish Co.
Without further ado, here’s what you can munch on while listening to The Killers and Post Malone and other musical headliners. Find more information at sfoutsidelands.com.
