About this Event

San Francisco nightlife is thriving in this neighborhood of watering holes and eateries, punctuated by vintage neon signs. This tour wanders between Lombard and Chestnut Streets and connecting the dots with vintage neon signs for motels, movie theaters, diners, and a diving lady.

Spend an evening under the neon glow with San Francisco Neon authors and photographers Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan. Tours feature local history with architectural and graphic design insights to San Francisco's unique legacy of surviving neon signs. Photography and a lively Q&A are encouraged. Be prepared to walk 1.5 hours, 1 uphill block. Tours start at twilight, even If it is raining (Neon looks best in the rain.) but will be rescheduled in case of stormy weather and bad road conditions.
