San Francisco Street Food Festival 2012

Posted on Aug 20, 2012

IA was happy to assist La Cocina in preparing for the San Francisco Street Food Festival which took place this past Saturday in the Mission! We helped the festival with the design and construction of over 120 platform benches made from almost 500 locally sourced recycled wooden palettes. We hope you had a chance to visit the festival, and click the link above to take a look at our Flickr set of photos from the event. We would like to thank all the food vendors, volunteers, and especially La Cocina for organizing another successful food festival!

Planning a Food Festival

IA was happy to play host to La Cocina’s kick off meeting to help organize this years annual San Francisco Street Food Festival, which will be held Saturday August 18th.  The meeting brought together La Cocina, IA, and more than 30 planning and logistical volunteers made up of event planners, chefs, bar + restaurant owners, social media specialists, designers, and food enthusiasts.  Here are a few images from the meeting, and if you’re interested, click here to get involved!

Recently, IA was pleased to get involved and help La Cocina with their 3rd Annual San Francisco Street Food Festival — an event that showcases some of San Francisco’s best food from restaurants from across the Bay Area. Held in the lively Mission neighborhood, the festival features stalls from over 60 local restaurants and chefs, live music, drinks, and local vendors. The IA office helped La Cocina with the planning, organization, and assembly of temporary dining furniture made from easily sourced waste-stream materials, using items such as milk crates, plywood, and recycled wood palettes to construct tables and seating pods.  Check out our Flikr Gallery, linked above, for photos of the festival and some of the furniture in action, and make sure to visit La Cocina’s website for more information on the Festival and their own incubator kitchen programs.
