San Francisco City Hall hosts an annual Small Business Holiday Pop-up with over 50 local makers on December 9, 2025, 11am–3pm; free admission.
If you go up the Grand Staircase to the second floor of San Francisco City Hall and then make a right, you will find a graveyard outside the office of District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan. Each tombstone is marked with a Halloweeny riff on the name of a former district supervisor. Is it an homage? Is it a threat? "There's a lot of stuff going on, so it's nice to have a little levity," said Robyn Burke, one of Chan's legislative aides.
Greg Bayol's favorite part of taking visitors around San Francisco City Hall is seeing the supervisors' legislative chamber. The ceiling might look like carved wood, he says, but it's painted plaster. Today's tour group - a man visiting from Dublin (in the East Bay, not Ireland), a young couple who just moved here from Seattle, and this reporter - admire the deception.
