About the Sourdough Heritage Festival
The San Francisco Sourdough Heritage Festival
Is a multi-day celebration highlighting sourdough bread, its history in San Francisco, and the broader community built around this iconic culinary tradition.
Included at the Festival:
History & Tradition
San Francisco’s sourdough legacy dates back to the Gold Rush of the 1840s. Miners valued sourdough for its durability and ease of fermentation, and the foggy Bay Area climate made it ideal for nurturing wild yeast — giving birth to the city’s signature sourdough style.
Why It Matters
This festival celebrates that living tradition — honouring centuries of craft and culinary culture in the region.
