Presidio Picnic

Can I bring my own shade tent to Presidio Picnic?

Yes, shade structures such as “sport-brellas”, or similar, are permitted at Presidio Picnic. No larger than 8’(W) x 5.5’ (D) x 5’ (H). In the interest of keeping the Presidio grounds pristine for all to enjoy, we do not allow lawn stakes or pop-up style tents, which pose a safety hazard to guests on windy days (and obstruct the beautiful views!)

Can I bring my pop up tent to Picnic for shade?

No stakes or pop-up tents are allowed at Picnic as they could damage the lawn.

Can I bring my soccer team to play at Presidio Picnic?

No organized sports are allowed during market hours.

Can I bring my kids to Presidio Picnic? 

Yes, Presidio Picnic offers kid-friendly menu items from many of our mobile food creators, as well as free bicycle lessons for kids on the first Sunday of each month presented by the Presidio Community YMCA. Presidio Picnic is also a well-established space where kids can run and lay games across a seven-acre lawn. Bring a frisbee!

Can I bring my dog to Presidio Picnic?

Yes, all friendly dogs on leash are welcome. 

Can I bring my own table and chairs?

Yes, you can bring tables and chairs for your picnic area. Due to high wind tendencies, tables and chairs should be no more than 3 feet high. You can also take advantage of the tables, chairs, and spaces on the main grounds at a first come first serve basis. 

Can I reserve spots at Presidio Picnic? 

In the interest of creating shared spaces that are accessible to everyone, Off the Grid does not currently offer reservations / reserved seating. We encourage visitors to enjoy our designated communal areas on a first come, first served basis. If you’re planning to attend with a large group and/or space is a concern, we encourage you to plan ahead and arrive early to snag a spot!

If you’re interested in hosting a private event with Off the Grid, our Catering team would love to help! Please tell us more about your event by completing our online questionnaire, and a member of our Catering team will get back to you within 1 business day.

Can I expect to find vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free meals at Presidio Picnic?

Can I bring outside food or alcohol to Presidio Picnic? 

While we don't put any restrictions on outside food and alcohol, we highly encourage our guests to support our vendors, both food and beverage. If you choose to bring outside food, please remember to pick up your trash and dispose in the appropriate bins found around the market. Glass is not allowed in our markets.
