Venue Settings
Skylight at The Avalon was once the iconic Avalon Ballroom, one of San Francisco’s most beloved venues. Built in 1911 and most active during its 1960’s heyday, the three-level architectural jewel offers 10K sq ft footprints across each level, 24’ ceiling heights, multiple breakout spaces, and meticulously restored finishes and details. Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, The Doors, and Santana, along with literary figures Joan Didion and Allen Ginsberg, graced the beaux arts venue. Located along SF’s entertainment corridor in the Polk Gulch neighborhood, the building’s rich history and dramatic architecture are the foundation for San Francisco’s next generation of entertainers and creators.
