San Francisco History Days 2020 – FAQ
Q: Where can I find a Press Release for this event?
A: Right here!
Now in its tenth year, San Francisco History Days is an annual showcase of local San Francisco history brought to you by the San Francisco Department of Memory and the Host Committee this year from September 25 – 27, 2020!
Bringing together community history groups, artists, writers, filmmakers and independent historians, introductory programs begin on Friday, September 25, and lead into coordinated city-wide programming on Saturday, September 26 and Sunday, September 27. The weekend features select and safe in-person activities like guided walking tours; curated highlights from registered exhibitors on the San Francisco History Days website; and live virtual presentations, panel discussions, film screenings, and author talks. We may be physically distanced but we can still gather around the joy of local history!
All of this is made possible by the San Francisco Office of Economic and Workforce Development through the Invest in Neighborhoods Program, courtesy of District 1 Supervisor Sandra Lee Fewer.
