Tomorrow, March 25, celebrate Women’s History Month with a day of delicious food, community, and family fun at Pop-Ups on the Plaza: Celebrating Black Women Makers. This is the first in a series of 2023 Pop-Ups on the Plaza events, taking place at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market and Ferry Terminal Plaza and featuring participants in Foodwise’s Building Equity Program.
