#TBT: New Year's Eve in San Francisco Since 1907

By

San Franciscans don't need an excuse to celebrate. But give us a good one, and watch out.

As we get ready to bid adieu to 2017 and welcome the new year, let's take a frolic down memory lane to see how the city partied it up on New Year's Eve in the past.


1907-1910, The Mission

This early 1900s sign shows that parades, masquerades, and street carnivals have been a part of San Francisco celebrations for over 100 years. Dancing and fireworks were also advertised, with all festivities held in one of the coolest neighborhoods in the city, the Mission.
