Get ready to experience a night where culinary creativity and masquerade meet at the Mushroom Masquerade, the signature Friday night event of the San Francisco Ferry Building Mushroom Festival. On Friday, October 25, from 5 PM onwards, the iconic Ferry Building will transform into a fungi-fueled wonderland, offering a delectable array of mushroom-themed bites, local wines, live music, and whimsical mask-making.
As autumn settles over the Bay, the Ferry Building’s famed merchants and top local restaurants will be serving up inventive mushroom dishes that celebrate the bounty of the season. From rich and earthy creations by Far West Fungi Cafe to the culinary artistry of EPIC Steak, Sorrel, Nopa, and more, expect bold flavors and unexpected pairings that will elevate mushrooms to their rightful status as the star of the evening. Whether it’s a delicate mushroom tartlet, creamy risotto, or something altogether experimental, each bite will highlight the versatility of fungi.
But the evening isn’t just about the food. Mushroom Masquerade brings together Napa Valley Vintners for a night of wine tasting that promises to impress even the most discerning palates. Sip on pours from some of the region’s best, including Alpha Omega, Ghost Block Estate Wines, and Reynolds Family Winery. For those looking for something a little more adventurous, indulge in mushroom-infused aperitifs from Ceybon AF or savor a glass of Candy Cap Beer from Fox Tale—an earthy brew infused with mushrooms for an extra layer of intrigue.
As you dance the night away to sets from DJ Juan Love, the Ferry Building will come alive with the sounds and energy of San Francisco’s community. Don’t forget to stop by the mask-making station, hosted by SF Etsy, to create your own festive eyewear and get into the full spirit of the masquerade.
For just $30, your ticket includes 10 tasting tickets to sample bites and beverages from local vendors, plus a signature wine glass if you snag your ticket early. Additional tasting tickets and raffle entries will be available on site, with proceeds benefitting Food Runners, a nonprofit fighting hunger and preventing food waste in the Bay Area.
