History
Born out of the SF Cart Project by founder Matt Cohen in 2009, Off the Grid hosted its first gathering of food trucks and street food vendors at Fort Mason in June, 2010. The event was comprised of 10 food trucks and live music. To this day Fort Mason is Off the Grid's flagship market, with the largest number of food trucks of any of its regular events.

Special Events
In association with the Proxy Project in Hayes Valley, San Francisco, Off the Grid places two trucks for lunch and dinner service six days a week. This is not branded as an Off the Grid event.

Off the Grid hosts a monthly dinner event at the McCoppin Hub location, organized around a special theme. Selected trucks offer dishes that coordinate with the chosen theme and often serve them alongside their regular menus. In partnership with Golden Gate Fields, Off the Grid placed 30 trucks at the horse racing venue on four Saturdays in 2011: August 27 and September 3, 10, and 17. The market took place while the races were conducted, and a $6 entrance fee was charged for visitors 18 years and over. Admission for 17 and under was free.
