Lunar New Year celebrations at SF Symphony featured a vibrant atmosphere with red lanterns and floral arrangements in the Davies Symphony Hall. Attendees enjoyed activities such as calligraphy, traditional dancers, and fortune tellers. Mayor Daniel Lurie delivered an encouraging speech emphasizing that residents can define San Francisco’s future despite outside perceptions. The event showcased both cultural traditions and local pride, reconnecting to the sense of community after the challenges faced during the pandemic.
"There is a lot of talk about San Francisco from outsiders. They're trying to tell us how we are. You're about to walk into a sold-out auditorium to celebrate all that is great about us. We're going to be the ones that define San Francisco going forward."
"The annual concert in Civic Center bathed Davies Symphony Hall in a glow of red lanterns and bamboo wrapped in delicate floral arrangements. Activities transformed the lobby into a living festival - calligraphers painting lucky phrases on red paper, dancers twirling silk fans, and a fortune teller predicting the year ahead."
