SFMOMA's "Free First Thursdays" Free Museum Day for Locals
"The museum says the program will be re-envisioned and relaunched at a future date, with updates to be shared once plans are finalized. As of January 15, no additional Free First Thursday dates are scheduled. The change affects the long-running program that provided free general admission to Bay Area residents on the first Thursday of each month from 4 to 8 pm. Although the free admission program has been paused, SFMOMA will continue its late-night Thursday hours, with galleries open until 8 pm."
"On the first Thursday of every month, all residents of the nine Bay Area counties are invited to spend an evening at the museum on us! General admission is free from 4-8 pm. Surcharged exhibitions require separate paid tickets. Tickets are available approximately two weeks in advance. Reserving online is highly encouraged. Limit two adult tickets per reservation. Qualifying counties: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, and Sonoma."
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art has temporarily paused its Free First Thursday program beginning February 2026. The program previously provided free general admission for residents of nine Bay Area counties on the first Thursday of each month from 4 to 8 pm. Special exhibitions that require a surcharge continued to require separate paid tickets. Tickets were typically available about two weeks in advance, reservations were encouraged, and reservations were limited to two adult tickets per booking. The museum will maintain late-night Thursday hours with galleries open until 8 pm. The program will be re-envisioned and relaunched at a future date with updates to follow.
