For one night, the Alliance Française de San Francisco & the Francophone Museum of San Francisco will transform into a 1920s speakeasy.
Step back into les années folles and into an evening of live music, dancing, and Jazz Age glamour.

Tonight we explore that history, with Prohibition-era cocktails and wines to sip and a Francophone buffet to savor.
Come dressed in your finest flapper party attire for a night of casino games, a short talk on Prohibition in the Bay Area from historian Rebecca Yerger, and two live sets of jazz from Charles Unger Experience and La Gauloise All Stars. Our Charleston swing lesson will have you out on the dance floor in no time.

About the Event
This year marks the 250-year anniversary of the arrival of the Anza Expedition. In 2026, many events across the Bay Area and beyond have commemorated the arrival of the Anza expedition, which led to the founding of the Presidio and Mission Dolores. The 2026 Kevin Starr lecture will explore the legacy of the expedition and its impact, addressing crucial issues, questions, conflicts, and perspectives that have persisted in the 250 years since Anza’s arrival. A distinguished panel of community-based researchers, scholars, and museum practitioners will examine not only how we view these complex interactions and events, but also how we interpret them in practical contexts such as K-12 schools, universities, historic sites, and museums.
The lecture will take place at the University of San Francisco. An in-person wine and cheese reception will start at 5:30 P.M.

Heron Arts is pleased to announce Abiogenesis, a duo exhibition featuring Philip Beesley and Casey Curran. The opening reception for Abiogenesis is Saturday, November 14th, 2026 from 6-9pm. It is free and open to the public and will be part of San Francisco Art Week. The exhibition will be on view to the public until January 24th, by appointment only.
Abiogenesis brings together the work of Philip Beesley and Casey Curran around an elusive phenomenon: the emergence of life from inert matter. Their work assembles unmistakably artificial elements that, in their cellular forms and gentle movement, begin to suggest life. Lacework becomes membrane. Scaffolds of repeating cells become skeletons of organisms. Glowing, shimmering light evokes the pulses of nature. Mechanical gestures appear to breathe, bloom, and reach into the world.
Intimations of life within Beesley’s and Curran’s sculptures suggest that living form can emerge from the matter of the earth. Beesley and Curran probe this threshold through myth,…

TheatreWorks Silicon Valley ushers in the holiday season with the Northern California Premiere of the enchanting new musical Alice, Formerly of Wonderland. Written by seven-time Emmy Award winning writer Mark Saltzman, this charming a cappella musical is inspired by a true story: the Oxford romance of Alice Liddell met Prince Leopold, son of Queen Victoria and the great-grand-uncle of today’s Prince Harry. Liddell achieved global fame as Lewis Carroll’s inspiration for the girl who fell down the rabbit hole. However, Alice is now eager to escape her storybook reputation and finds herself intrigued by the prince who has captivated the whole college campus. This musical favorite from TheatreWorks’ 2025 New Works Festival features a magical score mixing gorgeously rendered harmonies of period tunes with original songs. TheatreWorks Founder/Artistic Director Emeritus Robert Kelley returns to direct this family-friendly holiday production.

Building a company and leading teams especially in this new age of AI is emotionally demanding. From pressure and uncertainty to team tension and high-stakes decisions, you’re expected to stay clear, steady, and confident through it all.
What most leaders never get is space to slow down and examine the emotional layer shaping their leadership and build the skills to listen and communicate with their team or clients and learn from other leaders.
This is that space.

Under the glow of gas lamps, boughs of holly and British flags, The Great Dickens Christmas Fair & Victorian Holiday Party returns to the historic Cow Palace for its 42nd season, running weekends November 21 through December 20, 2026.
Presented for five weekends, including the Friday after Thanksgiving, The Great Dickens Christmas Fair transforms over 140,000 square feet of the Cow Palace Exhibition Halls into an immersive recreation of Christmas Eve in Charles Dickens’ London.
From the moment visitors enter the environment of the Fair, the modern world gives way to bustling streets populated by hundreds of costumed characters: chimney sweeps and street vendors, sailors and shopkeepers, carolers and musicians, literary icons, colorful denizens of Victorian society — and, of course, Mr. Charles Dickens himself!
