Holiday Lights at Washington Square Park

Living in North Beach, San Francisco is a constant reminder of how community spirit and vibrant public spaces can make life so much more enjoyable for our children, families, and neighbors.  During the holidays, Washington Square Park has the potential to transform into a magical wonderland for residents and visitors alike. However, each year it remains dark and uninviting, missing out on the festive sparkle that so many other neighborhoods get to enjoy.

​We are pleased to announce that this vision has become a reality thanks to the folks at San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, Mayor Daniel Lurie's Office, Supervisor Danny Sauter's backing and  many families and neighbors who have raised funds to illuminate Washington Square Park from November-January. We are very excited to help brighten up our corner of the city this holiday season!

 

Decorating Washington Square Park with holiday lighting will not just brighten up our neighborhood, but make it feel more vibrant and festive, drawing people in from around and outside the city, bringing visitors and business to the surrounding area. This visual transformation will also address a significant safety concern. During the winter months, as the days grow darker earlier, the park becomes a less safe area to walk through. Increased lighting can deter crime and make the park a safer, more family-friendly gathering place.
