Picnic on the Plaza: Summer Cocktails of the Farmers Market

Roll out that AstroTurf and warm up the grill! With daylight hours shining long into the evening, CUESA and the United States Bartenders Guild are taking advantage of the city sun with an urban picnic in front of the Ferry Building Arcades. In our pop-up urban oasis, hydrate with craft cocktails from the Bay’s best bars, featuring summer’s peak produce, and inspired by classic picnic ingredients—think corn, peppers, watermelon, tomatoes—while snacking on upscale cookout fare from the city’s hottest restaurants.

Guests receive three full-sized, signature cocktails featuring Disaronno, Larceny Bourbon, and Remy Cointreau, along with unlimited sample-size drinks. Restaurants provide small bites in this happy hour event, where you’ll unwind with our summer playlist, best your besties in foodie lawn games, and vote for your favorite drink and bite to win prizes. At the end of the evening, catch twilight descending on the waterfront in a perfect finale to a city summer night.

All proceeds from the evening support CUESA’s sustainable agriculture educational initiatives and the USBG’s professional development programs. This is the last Cocktails of the Farmers Market of 2016—don’t miss out!
