Venue Picks
The SF War Memorial & Performing Arts Center is the West Coast’s answer to Lincoln Center – a grand civic stage where opera, ballet, and the
symphony converge at the highest level, anchoring San Francisco as atrue global capital of the performing arts. Its timeless elegance and cultural
gravitas make it the beating heart of performance on the Pacific.
With its grand reopening next month (February 2026), The Castro Theatre once again takes its place as the heart of this historic neighborhood, blending its preserved character with a renewed sense of excitement for what’s ahead.

from the ceiling.
