Fun Facts

Before becoming a legendary music venue, The Fillmore was originally a dance hall and roller skating rink in the 1930s.

The Fillmore became a hub for the psychedelic music scene, hosting iconic bands like The Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane.

Concert-goers at The Fillmore are often treated to free apples, a tradition started by promoter Bill Graham.

The venue shut its doors in 1971 and remained closed until it was revived in 1986.

The venue is adorned with beautiful chandeliers, which were salvaged from a building demolished in the 1960s.

The Fillmore is famous for its psychedelic concert posters, which have become collectible art pieces over the years.

While known for rock, The Fillmore has also seen performances from jazz, blues, and hip-hop artists.

The venue is named after Fillmore Street, which in turn was named after President Millard Fillmore.
