Francos Norma Jean's Nightclub (also known as "Francos Nightclub") is the only LGBTQ nightclub in the central coast. Established in 1989, Francos Norma Jean's Nightclub's name is inspired by the world famous pop icon Marilyn Monroe. In 1948, Marilyn Monroe as crowned the very first Castroville Artichoke Festival Queen, and to honor this special event, we decided to include her true name in ours.
Francos Norma Jean's Nightclub is proud and honored to support the LGBTQ community on a long term and consistent basis. Over the years, we have raised over $50,000 for HIV/AIDS prevention and awareness services around the central coast. We have managed to do our part to help various organizations through our non-profit special events like "The Run For AIDS" and "Christmas Toy Run", among others.
Our facility opens its doors every Saturday , from 9:30 p.m. to 2:00 a.m. and we offer a wide variety of music to enjoy and dance to. If you are looking for a venue to host a special event of your own, Francos Norma Jean's Nightclub is also available for rent to celebrate birthdays, quince años, sweet sixteen, weddings and receptions - Call Ernie Sanchez, owner and operator @ 831-794-7423 for more information.
