Get Allergy Wise celebrates food allergy awareness in Golden Gate Park with singer Kyle Dine and guest speaker Mireille Schwartz of Bay Area Allergy Advisory Board (BAAAB).
Please join us for this FREE event, including a kids' concert, vendor sampling booths, kids' activities, and goodie bags. This event is open to ALL families, since you don't have to have food allergies to rock!

Alternatively, we invite you pick up or pack a lunch and bring it along. If the weather is nice, you can eat a picnic lunch outside on the lawn, or enjoy it inside at one of our lunch tables. We just ask that you keep everything nut-free as it is a nut-free event.
