The Golden Gate Garrison is a Star Wars costuming club that is part of the 501st Legion.

The 501st is the premier Star Wars costuming group of the world. No matter where you live, our presence can be felt. Spanning all 50 U.S. States and over 21 countries worldwide, the 501st Legion contributes to the community while celebrating the Star Wars universe.

The Golden Gate Garrison spans most of Northern California, (excluding the Central Valley which is served by the Central California Garrison) although most of our members are in the Greater San Francisco Bay Area.

We are a non-profit group for the purpose of bringing together Star Wars costume enthusiasts and using that enthusiasm to not only promote all forms of Star Wars related activities, but use our notoriety in support of community and charitable events. We are available for all manner of public or private events. Visiting children's groups, hospitals, providing atmosphere for promotions and corporate events, as well as making public appearances in parades, are among just a few of the activities the Golden Gate Garrison participates in.

Please visit our Galleries to view some of the many events we've been a part of.
