Pop-Ups on the Plaza: Celebrating Black Women Makers

This Women's History Month, celebrate Bay Area Black women makers with a day of delicious food, crafts, and community at the Embarcadero Ferry Terminal Plaza (south of the Ferry Building) and Ferry Plaza Farmers Market. Entry is free and open to the public, and food and drinks will be available for purchase.

Pop-Ups on the Plaza is a series of events celebrating Bay Area Black entrepreneurs, including businesses in Foodwise's Building Equity program. Pop-Ups on the Plaza is a Port sponsored event brought to you by Foodwise. This program is proudly funded in partnership with the San Francisco Human Rights Commission's Dream Keeper Initiative. Additional support is provided by the Ferry Building.
