BLACK CUISINE ~ 46th Annual at 1753 Carroll Ave – San Francisco, CA

Now in its 46th year, the annual Black Cuisine street festival continues to celebrate the cultural roots of African American seniors and share them with the community—especially youth. What began as a soul food cooking contest has grown into a vibrant street fair with food, entertainment, and a marketplace. As the longest-running cultural event in Bayview Hunters Point, Black Cuisine brings together generations to connect with African American heritage.

From its start at the senior center on 1706 Yosemite, Black Cuisine has grown into a community-wide celebration, welcoming organizations and individuals who add to its cultural flavor. This year’s event is on April 25, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at 1753 Carroll Avenue.

Young people and entertainers from the community participate in performances, growing Black businesses have brought their wares to the market, and non-profits from throughout the City come to share information and services.

Founded in 1971, Bayview Senior Services (BSS) is a community-based organization that responds to the needs of African American seniors and disabled people by helping them age in place with dignity, honor, and respect.
