Chinatown SF Neon Walking Tour 8/15
About this Event
This tour includes some of the oldest signs in the city and although they may no longer light up, it is a treasure hunt to discover these beautiful signs hidden in plain sight. We save the best for last: the glowing signs are at the end of the tour at twilight, featuring the Golden Star Radio sign on Clay Street, recently rstored throught the efforts of the California Historical Radio Society.
Spend an evening 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 for approximately 1.5 hours, with rest stops.
Reservations details: We'll email you all the details for your tour, including public transit and parking tips.
