Activity Description
FOOT! comedy walking tours is proud to present Come Out to the Castro: San Francisco’s Gay Village from Top to Bottom, a comedy history walking tour that explores the City’s proud and campy queer community.
Learn about the history of the neighborhood and Gay culture in San Francisco from the Gold Rush times to the present. This two-hour romp winds its way through one of the City’s most famous districts—mostly because it can’t go straight!
This tour covers many locations important to Gay culture, including:
- Josie's Cabaret, the Castro's first Gay bar
- The Names Project (AIDS Memorial Quilt)
- The legendary Castro Theatre
- One of world's largest gay flags
- The Pink Triangle Park and Memorial
In the late 1960s, the Castro district suddenly became the center of the Gay universe. How did Eureka Valley, a quiet working class neighborhood, become synonymous with Gay pride?
Find out the answer—plus lots more—while viewing one of the nation’s most distinctive and tolerant neighborhoods: the Castro. You might even see Dykes on Bikes—or some Chaps in Chaps!
What Is Not Included?
Meals are not included in the price of the Come Out to the Castro tour, but we often stop mid-way for a coffee or snack! Be sure to bring extra cash with you if you're interested in this, and we'll stop if the group is interested.
