The Opening Night Gala has been called “the highlight of the San Francisco Social Season” and attracts nearly 2,000 patrons of the arts who come to shop, see friends, old and new, and enjoy an evening of great food, drink, art, antiques, and design. Stunning Designer Vignettes flank the Grand Entry Hall and the Pavilion shines for one of the best parties in town. The Preview Gala is known for its live music, caviar and vodka bars, and sumptuous dinner buffets and dessert stations. It is an evening not to be missed!

Each year the Fall Show presents some of the most prominent names in the worlds of art, antiques, design, architecture, and history who share their knowledge and insight into their areas of expertise. Lectures take place on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of the Show at 11:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m.
