EMPEROR NORTON’S 205th
In February 2015, The Emperor Norton Trust inaugurated the tradition of celebrating the Emperor's birthday on his historical birth date of February 4th.
This ninth annual celebration is a virtual affair. Raise a glass wherever you are!
Sunday 17 September
EMPIRE DAY | 164th Anniversary of Emperor Norton’s Public Reign
Dedication and Celebration of Emperor Norton Place
In September 2015, The Emperor Norton Trust inaugurated “Empire Day” as a holiday to celebrate Joshua Norton’s public declaration of himself as Emperor on 17 September 1859.
For this Empire Day, we’ve joined with others in planning something very special: The official event to dedicate and celebrate “Emperor Norton Place” as the City and County of San Francisco’s new commemorative name for the 600 block of Commercial Street — where the Emperor is documented to have lived between 1865 and his death in 1880. >>> Details
Sunday 10 December
THE 11th ANNUAL TANNENBAUM TOAST (Zoom)
As always, the Trust’s annual holiday party is on the second Sunday afternoon in December. Stay tuned for details and a Zoom link.
