SF’s “Museum of the Eye” NYE Party: Celebratory Bubbles, Not Eye Troubles (2023)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Celebratory Bubbles, Not Eye Troubles!

Don’t shoot your eye out! Join us for our second annual presentation on champagne safety, followed by a champagne toast to the new year.

Join San Francisco’s unique Museum of the Eye for their 2nd annual New Year’s Eve event!

Learn about the dangers of champagne corks from an ophthalmologist (seriously, people can lose their vision, even their eyeballs, if they aren’t popping champagne correctly!), see a live demo of proper champagne popping technique, and raise a free glass of bubbly from Ferry Plaza Wine Merchants. This event is 21+.

Here’s a not-so-fun-fact about New Year’s Eve: champagne corks can fly at 50 mph. People could lose their vision, even their eyeballs, if they aren’t popping champagne correctly.

The Truhlsen-Marmor Museum of the Eye is hosting a free, how-to event to teach the public how to properly open a bottle of champagne. Learn about the dangers of champagne corks from a medical doctor who treated patients with these eye injuries first-hand, see a live demo of proper champagne popping technique, and raise a complimentary glass of bubbly before enjoying the rest of New Year’s Eve in Fisherman’s Wharf, where the museum is conveniently located. This is a 21+ only event.
