Four confirmed dates cover baking demonstrations, fall-fruit samples, Mission festivities and the final market. Distinguish free programs from paid food and find the right tent.
Treat a market as a relaxed half-day: choose a program, then leave time for shopping and a break. The four entries are on different dates, not a same-day route, and samples are not a lunch plan.
Four dates with different highlights
October 10, 11–11:45 am. Free demonstration; books and market purchases cost extra. Heather Hardcastle demonstrates seasonal baking in front of the Ferry Building, followed by a cookbook signing. Samples do not constitute a free meal.
October 29, 3–7 pm. Free community activities; vendor food and shopping cost extra. An after-school market with crafts, costumes and seasonal food activities; DJ Lamont plays 5–7 pm. Vendor foods such as pan dulce and mole are sold separately.

Green tent for demonstrations, orange for fall-fruit samples
The green Foodwise Classroom tent is directly in front of the Ferry Building. On October 31, the orange Seasonal Spotlight tent hosts fruit activities from 11 am–1 pm; the Tutuli demonstration is 11–11:45 am in the green tent.

Mission’s market street and final date
Current visitor information places the market on 22nd Street between Mission and Valencia, while the footer retains 84 Bartlett. Follow current directions and signs. November 12, 3–7 pm is the confirmed 2026 finale; do not continue applying the Thursday schedule afterward.
