Through a vibrant, local festival in Oakland, CA, and a focus on delicious and sustainable “street food,” Eat Real puts eaters in contact with the real people -- the farmers, chefs, and producers -- who make our food. Eat Real Festival will donate a percentage of its profit to several California organizations promoting access to healthy and affordable food, entrepreneurship and economic development.\n\nThings are heating up at Eat Real—we’re really excited about the line-up of street eats including banana leaf wrapped tamales, Italian chick pea pancakes and more, all paired with amazing microbrews during the August 28 - 30 event. \n\nLooking for ways to get into the Eat Real mood?
