San Francisco’s Outside Lands Music & Arts Festival blends local food and drinks with music, art and comedy. Headliners for this year’s totally sold-out festivities in historic Golden Gate Park from August 5-7 include Radiohead, LCD Soundsystem, Lionel Richie, Lana Del Rey and Chance the Rapper, among others. Just as impressive, however, are the menu options found within seven unique culinary experiences. All in all, there are 80 local restaurants, 120 wines and beers from 25 breweries represented at the three-day festival.
The vendors are divided into several categories: A Taste of the Bay Area, Wine Lands, Beer Lands, Choco Lands and Cheese Lands, all of which are pretty self-explanatory. GastroMagic, a sixth section introduced last summer, features a fully programmed stage devoted to fantastical culinary entertainment. New this year: Outside Clams, offering a “comprehensive crustacean experience,” including grilled and raw oysters, lobster rolls and yes, plenty of clams. We’re already taking a look at direct flights to SFO. Prepare yourself for a long, delicious scroll down.
