The Soiled Dove

The waterfront is alive once again with the next chapter of The Soiled Dove.

Vau de Vire Society presents the return of The Soiled Dove beneath The Tortona Big Top at Radium Runway.

An immersive night of lavish dining, cocktails, circus acts, roaming spectacle, beautiful chaos, and original music performed by Sgt. Splendor, featuring legendary artist Joan Baez returning to the stage alongside the cast of Vau de Vire Society for the 2026 season.

With the legendary JOAN BAEZ! Shows extended through Nov. 7th!

Vau de Vire and Radium Presents present The Soiled Dove!

From Vau de Vire, the co-creators of The Edwardian Ball, New Bohemia NYE, Revive™ the Show, Lagunitas Beer Circus, and a decade of the Bay Area's most creatively outrageous nightlife events comes an immersive, circus-infused, dinner-theater experience that will thrill your every sense.

The Soiled Dove all takes place under The Big Top, our magnificent 12,000 square foot Italian circus tent situated at Radium Runway in Alameda, CA.

Set amidst a thematic backdrop inspired by San Francisco's notorious Barbary Coast era, guests can expect an engaging evening filled with danger, decadence, world-renowned performance and an innovative 3-course culinary spread worthy of royalty by Bay Area based Work of Art. Dinner guests will be serenaded by the era's syncopated ragtime stylings, while astounded by the dynamic performances of the Vau de Vire Society.

Sidle up to the bar and drink tantalizing libations at The Soiled Dove Saloon!

You will indulge in a world of decadence perfectly suited for those in search of an adventurous escapade into the Gold Rush era's scandalous history. Guests are encouraged to submerge themselves in the revelry by putting a little (or a lot) of effort into their attire…styles that cover Victorian, Edwardian, 49er, Harlots, Crimps or their most stylish period couture.
