The Grand Lady Herself

Welcome to Swanky Town. Meet Miss Herbst. She’s a beauty.

Not Your Normal NYE is at the historic (and glorious) Herbst Theatre in the Civic Center area of San Francisco, right across from City Hall. The Herbst Theatre is a cornerstone of San Francisco performing arts, with more than 200 shows presented on its stage every year. Distinguished as the historic site of the United Nations Charter signing in 1945, it is now the primary venue for many of the Bay Area’s premier cultural organizations.

Eight large beaux-arts murals, created by Frank Brangwyn for the 1915 Panama-Pacific International Exposition, adorn the walls while overhead five chandeliers hang from the blue and gold-leaf ceiling.
