Upcoming events.
FEP is launching a series of events to support economic development in San Francisco.
Frisco Fridays: FEP's BAWSE Program is partnering with Made in the City (MITC) to produce the monthly family-friendly small business marketplace, Frisco Fridays, starting March 29, 2024, at India Basin Waterfront Park from 4-8pm. This series aims to support local businesses, counter gentrification, and foster community engagement. Each event will feature a small business pop-up market with some of Frisco’s finest fashion, delicious food, music and entertainment for all, games for adults like dominoes and cards, and children activities.
Buy Out Business (B.O.B.) Days: monthly event series where we promote one day a month to buy out a San Francisco business’ entire inventory in a single day. We want to leverage our network to support the businesses that value the people and their lived experiences in our community and use their business and position to balance making a living with making an impact. We are doing this in honor of living legend Robert “Bob” Pinkard, owner and operator of Surfside Liquors since December 12, 1974 in Bayview Hunter’s Point. This project is a grassroots effort to empower individuals to contribute to building our community’s capacity and stimulate our local economy.
BAWSE Small Business Development Conference: SAVE THE DATE! January 31 - February 2, 2025 FEP will host the Inaugural BAWSE Small Business Development (SBD) Conference. This event is designed to address the most pressing needs of San Francisco small business owners, whether it's access to business infrastructure tools, affordable financing information, guidance on digital marketing strategies, and regulatory compliance information.

B.O.B. Day - March
We are launching our Buy-Out Business (BOB) days quarterly event series where we promote one day a season to buy out a San Francisco small business’ entire inventory in a single day. Our goal is to stimulate the local economy and support a small business that has compassionately balanced making a living with making an impact. We want to show these small businesses we value them because they have shown that they value the people in the communities where they operate. This month, we are honoring living legend, Robert “Bob” Pinkard, the owner and operator of Surfside Liquors since December 12, 1974 in Bayview Hunter’s Point. Affectionately known to most as Uncle Bob, he has worked tirelessly to feed, mentor, and serve all people of the community and symbolizes the heart of San Francisco.
Help us by sharing the event flyer and go to Surfside Liquors at 950 Innes Avenue and buy at least one thing to support this small business.
