North Beach Fair 2026

It’s street fair season in San Francisco! Last weekend we headed up to the city to check out the North Beach Fair. It’s always a fun event with street vendors, local shops, entertainment, and of course, food! Love that!

We decided to park down on the Embarcadero because after the fair we wanted to check out the space exhibit at the Exploratorium. This was a good choice since the fair traffic was no-where to be found and the lot didn’t fill up. It was a short walk up to North Beach, which was downhill when we returned to the car.

We started our day off with a delicious lunch at Barbara Pinseria & Cocktail Bar on Columbus Ave. They have a lovely outside eating area which we enjoyed, since the weather was perfect. The food is Southern Italian and really yummy! We will definitely go back.

After enjoying out lunch, we grabbed coffee at Caffe Greco, which is cash only btw, and wandered throughout the fair. One of the booths was from a local chocolatier, Z. Cioccolato, and they had delicious fudge! So of course, we indulged. The cookies and cream fudge was the best. We will definitely buy some again next time we are in the city. Love!

As we wandered around the fair we saw a lot of local artists, local shops, and more. This tee caught our eye, especially since my son was a huge Thomas fan when he was little. This tee was so cute and fun!

After the fair, we walked back downhill to the Embarcadero and headed over to the Exploratorium to check out both the space exhibit and the regular exhibits. We hadn’t been there is awhile, and the kids forgot most of what was inside, so it was a fun refresher.

Next time you are in the city, I highly recommend checking it out!

Thanks for stopping by, and stay tuned for more summer coverage.
