Description

We’ll begin our experience in Harvey Milk Plaza, named after the first openly gay elected official in American history. You’ll learn more about his life and activism as a civil rights leader as we make our way to the Pink Triangle Memorial which honors LGBTQ lives lost in World War II. Then we’ll head to the iconic Twin Peaks Tavern, the first gay bar in the neighborhood, and dive into the rich history of the first out officer in Marin County, Officer Jane Warner. Other memorable visits include one of the last palace theaters in the country, Castro Theater, and the historic Hibernia Beach. Finally, you’ll tour a must-see of the Castro neighborhood, Harvey Milk’s old camera shop and campaign headquarters, before ending at the Mix, a popular neighborhood hangout that’s bustling with local energy.
