This Viral Trend Is Returning To San Francisco — A Bad Bunny Lookalike Contest Is Happening Before The Super Bowl

The Bay Area is eagerly awaiting the Super Bowl — and Bad Bunny’s halftime performance. The global star was announced as the headliner for the coveted halftime show in September, with fans eagerly looking forward to his show. Now, one San Francisco restaurant has decided to host a Bad Bunny lookalike contest before the Super Bowl. Last year, celebrity lookalike contests were a viral hit, with hundreds of people showing up for contests in cities across the United States. Some popular contests included a Timothée Chalamet contest in which the real actor showed up in the crowd, and a Dev Patel contest in Dolores Park. Mission Lotería , a shop local initiative, has revived the viral trend, with a lookalike contest on Thursday, February 5, at Tacolicious in the Mission District. Registration starts at 5 pm at Tacolicious, and the contest will start at 5:30, with a prize of $100 for the winner. Following the lookalike contest, you can expect Bad Bunny-themed food and drinks with many of Bad Bunny’s hits playing until 8 pm. The event is free to attend, and all ages are welcome. In the past, lookalike contests have been very well attended, so be sure to expect a crowd if you plan on attending. Even if you don’t want to enter the contest, there will be plenty of attendees cheering on the contestants. San Francisco has numerous other events planned for the Super Bowl weekend , from local pop-ups like this to major concerts. Some notable events include a football fan festival at Moscone Center, concerts featuring Calvin Harris, Sting, and Post Malone, and plenty of exciting watch parties at bars across the city. The 2026 Super Bowl is on February 8 at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, and be sure to tune in for the halftime show to see Bad Bunny’s performance.
