Fulton Plaza in the Civic Center lights up for the holiday season’s Performing Arts Showcase, a free evening of live performances from downtown’s performing arts organizations. The lineup includes short works from San Francisco Opera, San Francisco Ballet, San Francisco Conservatory of Music, African American Shakespeare Company and RAWdance, with choreographed Illuminate lighting under the SPECTRA lights.
A post-show reception offers a chance to mingle with the organizations, plus ticket sales and raffles from the SF Symphony and Orpheum Theatre. Food and drinks are available for purchase. The organizer asks attendees to RSVP through Eventbrite.
