Voting is open for the 51st Annual Best of the Bay Readers' Poll and ends September 30. The poll highlights Bay Area organizations, small businesses, and unique local attractions. Categories were slimmed down to emphasize collective and celebratory recognition rather than pitting individual performers against each other. Organizers plan to revive the GOLDIES Arts Awards next year to honor artists, musicians, performers, and creators. New categories include Best Night Market and Best Date Restaurant while classic categories like Best Burrito, Best Drag Show, Best Bookstore, and Best Strip Club remain. An Annual Community Gala on October 22 will celebrate the winners. The poll traces back to 1974.
Since 1974, Bay Guardian-and now 48 Hills-readers have honored their favorite things about the Bay Area in our famous Best of the Bay Readers' Poll. VOTE NOW HERE in our 51st Annual Best of the Bay Readers' Poll and let's make some noise for the Best Place on Earth! Voting ends September 30, so tell all your friends! And join us at our Annual Community Gala on October 22 to party with the winners.
After half a century, and in the spirit of collective power, we've slimmed down and refreshed the poll's categories. Rather than pit wonderful individual performers and artists against one another, we decided to focus on local organizations, small businesses, and unique things that remind us how much we love San Francisco and the Bay. We are hoping to bring back our GOLDIES Arts Awards next year, to give our local artists, musicians, performers, dancers, and other creators their proper due.
