Snowflakes in San Francisco

| | Comments (0) |
Outdoor ice rinks and giant snowflakes in San Francisco are a sure sign that the holidays are officially underway. Market Street's Path of Gold has morphed into a winter wonderland with new LED snowflakes lighting up the shopping district from Second to Fifth streets. 

 

The San Francisco Convention & Visitors Bureau holiday Web site is now live at www.onlyinsanfrancisco.com/holidays featuring some 200 holiday events, from classic to quirky, culinary to multi-cultural. 

 

Visitors may search for events by specific dates, or see what's happening weekly. They can also see events by specific holiday event categories -- performances, music, festivals, free, family, sports, museums and dance.

 

Some of the highlights include:   

 

·         Shimmering Christmas trees at Union Square, the "Fifth Avenue" of the West; Fisherman's Wharf; Ghirardelli Square; Pier 39; The Presidio, and Golden Gate Park

·         Ice skating from dawn to late evening outdoors at the Embarcadero Center, Union Square, the San Francisco Zoo and indoors at Yerba Buena Gardens

·         A chorus line of tap-dancing Christmas trees on stage in a special holiday edition of "Beach Blanket Babylon"

·         The return of "Kung Pao Kosher Comedy" -- Jewish comedy on Christmas at a Chinese restaurant -- for a 16th hilarious season

·         "A Christmas Carol" returns to the Geary Theater for another Dickens holiday

·         The San Francisco Ballet's "Nutcracker" at the War Memorial Opera House

·          ...and much more!

 

From the site, visitors can book hotel rooms, packages and attractions using the SFCVB's online reservations offering guaranteed best hotel rates.

 

The Web site offers visitors a quick, convenient way to plan an "Only in San Francisco" holiday.
