"The Pacific Coast Fog Fest was originally produced by a professional festival planner under the auspices of the City of Pacifica. After eight years, the City relinquished their production rights to a coalition of individuals from local non-profit organizations who formed the production company Pacifica Festivals, Inc . They produced the Fog Fest for six years before deciding to disband.

At that point, a group of community-minded citizens who didn't want to see the Fog Fest die, came together to form the Fog Fest Organizing Group (FFOG). The first year was a little lean, since FFOG had to start with zero funds in order to come up with enough to produce the festival. Fund raising was done and seed money was contributed from throughout the community. In the years that have followed, we have experienced an enormous increase in Sponsorship contributions, which has been a major boon to the success of the Fog Fest.

All proceeds from the festival each year are given back to the community groups who participate. Every year the total number of groups who benefit from this is a little over 40 and they have been awarded a total of over $250,000 to date.

There's always a desire, and a need, for new people to join the board in order to keep ideas fresh and to share the work load. If you hadn't previously thought about how you could be involved with Fog Fest, please do consider joining now.
