For an excursion into Christmas shopping, try out Fort Mason Center, Marina Boulevard to see the works of metal, clay, wood and glass sculptors displayed.
The peak of Christmas, viz. November to December, is especially delightful with the onset of White Christmas, the Christmas classic, starring Bing Crosby, at the Orpheum Theater. The performance involves a series of romantic mix-ups. Visit the Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony at the Children's Musical Theatre of San Jose, the San Jose Garden Chorus, and the Fremont High School Marching Band. Have a ball with holiday activities for kids and join the city for its annual tree lighting. To catch a glimpse of Rudolph, indulge in some reindeer romp at the San Francisco zoo. Marvel at reindeer all decked out in their holiday harnesses and finery. For a fantasy in the woods, enjoy an outdoor holiday display with rides, refreshments, and gifts at Central Park, Berkeley.
See the lovely houses of Union Street decorated for the holidays, with a parade with holiday characters, live music, and other entertainers following the lighting ceremony. Visit the Fantasy of Lights. Stroll the streets of Victorian London, hear the joyous carolers, sip hot toddy or pint at Mad Sal's Dockside Ale House, and rest at Cuthbert's Tea House. It's all here, and more, at The Great Dickens Christmas Fair held annually in Cow Palace.
From the Elves and Shoemakers to Holiday Feast at the Hearst Castle and more, Christmas Carnivals offers information on Christmas Events in San Francisco.
