Step into San Fran’s wild and wooly history at The San Francisco Historium Spotlight happening Aug 22-23 at Pier 35!

The past, present, and future of San Francisco belong to us all!

Step back in time to the turning point, when San Francisco became San Francisco. Everyone had the opportunity to strike it rich.

Great sailing vessels arrived by the hundreds and electricity was in the air! The Gold Rush transformed San Francisco into the city it is today.

People came from every continent bringing different languages, customs, talents and dreams, weaving a tapestry of cultures never before seen!

Meet the characters…… Mark Twain, Emperor Norton, Mary Ellen Pleasant – the “Mother of Civil Rights in California, money-hungry Samuel Brannan, brilliant and beloved Juana Briones, and many more.

Hear the music, sing and dance in the taverns, become part of the tapestry, feel the sea breeze, and imagine yourself arriving with hopes and dreams.

Presented by Red Barn Productions, producers of The Great Dickens Christmas Fair and the Marin Irish Festival in Association with the San Francisco Historical Society.

~ All ages, all cultures, and all walks of life are celebrated here ~
