Each year, San Francisco’s leading cultural institutions - including the San Francisco Ballet, Symphony, and Opera. All three host glamorous galas and fundraisers that celebrate the arts and support the city’s creative future. The goal: to pair elegance and philanthropy with unforgettable, high-energy live performances that keep guests dancing and giving all night long.
From the first note to the final encore, these evenings are pure joy. The dance floors stay full, the energy never dips, and the smiles say it all. Award-winning Bay Area favorites - The Cheeseballs, Notorious, Wonder Bread 5, and Pop Rocks, have each taken the stage multiple times, delivering concert-level performances that rival any headliner. Their mix of showmanship, musicianship, and infectious fun transforms black-tie galas into full-blown celebrations of art, community, and generosity. Year after year, these nights remind us that when San Francisco’s cultural institutions win, we all do.
