3rd Annual Black Couture Ball on the Fillmore, San Francisco - Celebrating 100 years of fashion and nightlife
This event takes place on Fillmore St., between Geary & Eddy Streets. A three block area area on the Fillmore entertainment corridor is transformed into a classy and hip trip back in time.
An event like no other... Bars, restaurants, dining, drinking, dancing, art, music and more. We encourage you to wear your finest “black” vintage attire of the past ten decades. If you don’t have vintage clothing, then current style is just fine. Pick out your classiest, sexist black outfit.
The evening begins with an outdoor concert at the Fillmore Center Plaza, followed by entertainment at various venues:
Burlesque Shows w. Mynx d'Meanor & Vienna La Rouge
Swing Dance Contest
Swing Dance Lessons with Hep Jen & Kevin Munroe
