Join us on January 18 for a day of memories, music, and mementos honoring the life and legacy of Claude, San Francisco’s beloved albino alligator.

We’re planning a free outdoor community celebration of life packed with stories, speeches, performances, and activities for Claude fans of all ages. After the celebration, head across the street to Cal Academy for special programming, craft activities, and an artisan marketplace featuring commemorative Claude souvenirs available for purchase from local vendors. We look forward to celebrating Claude’s remarkable life with you soon!
