Details

The Edible Atlas is a global street food festival exploring the flavors, food traditions, and stories that make up our collective plate. Across cultures and continents, food carries stories of migration, memory, tradition, and home. In the Bay Area, those stories come together around a shared table.

Throughout the day, guests can eat their way around the world with standout food trucks and street food artisans, discover local makers, and enjoy live music, performances, and family-friendly activities. From a beloved family recipe to a street food tradition carried across generations, every dish offers a taste of the stories that shape our communities.
