About this Event

This tour wanders through the residential neighborhood that is situated just below swanky Nob Hill. We feature some of the older signs in the city and many still light up the night. It is a treasure hunt to discover these beautiful signs hidden in plain sight above local watering holes, small hotels, corner stores, beautiful garages, and old-school eateries.

Spend an evening with San Francisco Neon's co-founder Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan. Tours include local history with architectural details and graphic design insights into San Francisco's unique storefronts and neon signs. Photography and a lively Q&A are encouraged. Be prepared to walk 1.5 hours (2 blocks uphill).

Reservations details: We'll email you all the details for your tour, including public transit and parking tips the day before your tour.
