The Transbay Joint Powers Authority (TJPA), in coordination with the East Cut Community Benefit District, invite you to join us for the weekend of December 5th-7th at its sixth annual Winterfest celebration at Salesforce Park. The holiday festivities begin on the night of December 5th with live music from the band Magic Nostalgia, dancing, and a countdown to the park’s holiday illumination at 5:30 p.m. Other weekend highlights include a morning of holiday kids events, an Ugly Sweater Silent Disco, a screening of the film Frozen Sing-Along, and an all-day wreath making party.
The TJPA joins other downtown venues celebrating the holidays and will feature a park holiday lighting celebration on the evening of December 5th from 5 to 7 p.m. featuring free crafts, a holiday photo booth, live music, and dancing. Attendees are recommended to arrive at the park’s Main Plaza by 5:30 p.m. for brief remarks before lights are illuminated throughout the park around 5:50 p.m. Those interested in attending the Let’s Glow SF event at the Ferry Building can walk there from Salesforce Transit Center in 10 minutes and arrive in time for the launch of the light show at 7:00 p.m.
