About this Event

The Mission District of San Francisco has an impressive array of classic watering holes, eateries, and cinemas with some of the best vintage neon signs in the city. It is a treasure hunt to discover these beautiful signs in the heart of this neighborhood.

Your guides are San Francisco Neon historians Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan. This tour features eclectic local history with architectural and design insights to San Francisco's unique legacy of vintage neon signs and storefronts. Be prepared to walk for 1.5 hours with rest stops. Photography and a lively Q&A are encouraged.
