LOVE THY CITY: A Love Letter to SF Creative Community

On March 3, we’re opening the doors for LOVE THY CITY - a once-in-a-decade celebration honoring ten years of Make It Mariko and the creative communities that have shaped San Francisco alongside us.

Part anniversary, part live experience, and part industry gathering, this night is our love letter to The City — and to the artists, founders, builders, small biz, and culture-makers who continue to believe in it.

Hosted at the newly renovated The Foundry SF, the evening brings together Bay Area tastemakers, community leaders, and creative professionals for a night rooted in connection, collaboration, and collective joy.

Expect immersive creative moments, dynamic live performances, and a curated showcase of local vendors and small businesses that embody the spirit of San Francisco - past, present, and future.

Come raise a glass, connect with local creatives and businesses, and celebrate a decade of Make It Mariko and the vibrant San Francisco community that made it all possible.

What To Expect:

Allow us to delight you.

• Curated tastings by Victory Hall, IVSF Catering, Nopalito, Revel Catering & Events, and AGA Hospitality
• Craft SF inspired cocktails curated by The Foundry SF team
• Sweet Treats by Bad Walter's Bootleg Ice Cream, Ube Area, and Frozen Kuhsterd

*PLEASE NOTE: All food & non-alcohol drink tastings are complimentary, but this will be a "cash bar" event. $1 from every signature cocktail will be donated to Brave New Spaces, a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to building strong, connected communities through impactful events.
