Lotta's Fountain 150th Anniversary in Downtown San Francisco (2025)

Lotta's Fountain was gifted to the people of the City and County of San Francisco 150 years ago by Lotta Crabtree. The over 18-foot tall bronze cast fountain was formally dedicated on September 9, 1875, and since then, has become an annual early morning remembrance meeting point for the April 18, 1906 earthquake and fire, and was voted as one of San Francisco's most favorite monument in 2023.
