The Pacific Coast Fog Fest returns to Palmetto Avenue for two days of free admission and three stages of live music running Sept. 26 and 27, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The festival grounds stretch along Palmetto Avenue between Shell Street and Montecito Streets, according to the Pacific Coast Fog Fest's official site. The festival opens at 10 a.m. Saturday, kicking off a weekend on Palmetto Avenue.
Getting there without a car may be the easier move. SamTrans pointed festivalgoers to Routes 110 and 112 in a post on X, SamTrans
put it plainly: “Skip the parking headache and let SamTrans get you there — Routes 110 and 112 will take you right to the festival.”
The Festival on Palmetto Avenue
The festival takes place along Palmetto Avenue.
Music fans have three stages to bounce between.
Ahead of the main event, the festival held its 2026 photo contest. This year's contest added a new division, Pacifica Pier Memories, giving local photographers a fresh category to submit to before the festival grounds even opened.
