Protected: Off the Grid Lands at Treasure Island This Fall
Published on August 13, 2025
Treasure Island welcomes a beloved Bay Area tradition as Off the Grid makes its debut this September at the soon-to-open Cityside Park. Beginning Saturday, September 13, and running weekly through the fall on Saturdays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., the event will feature a rotating lineup of Bay Area food trucks, live music, and local vendors—just an 8-minute ferry ride from downtown San Francisco.
First launched at Fort Mason in 2010, Off the Grid began as a small gathering of food trucks inspired by founder Matt Cohen’s time in Japan and its vibrant street food culture. Over the past 15 years, the event has evolved into a cornerstone of Bay Area life, renowned for transforming public spaces into vibrant community markets.
On Treasure Island, Off the Grid will take place at Cityside Park, a landmark civic space situated within sweeping views of the Bay and the downtown city skyline. Set against this dramatic backdrop, the weekly series celebrates the waterfront as a dynamic gathering place, bringing neighbors and visitors together over food, music, and community connection, all while supporting Bay Area businesses.
Off the Grid kicks off an exciting fall on the Island, with more events set to bring the community together. On October 5, Cityside Park will transform into a family-friendly pumpkin patch for the Treasure Island Harvest Festival, offering families a chance to enjoy seasonal crafts, kid-friendly activities, and festive photo opportunities. And throughout the season, the Island’s ongoing lineup of weekly and monthly favorites continues: Sunset Comedy at Mersea on Fridays, live music at Gold Bar every Friday and Sunday night, monthly Happy Hour at Panorama Park every third Thursday, and spirited pickleball matches at Bay Padel.
