Event Details

Presidio Officers’ Club: Opening Weekend Celebration | SF

Long before there was the city of San Francisco, there was the Presidio of San Francisco. First established in 1776, the adobe walls of the Officers’ Club stand testament to California’s beginnings.  

Celebrate the re-opening of the Officers’ Club with two full days of history exhibits, art and activities, plus an all-day schedule of live music spanning across cultures including Oakland’s Grammy award winning Pacific Mambo Orchestra.
