Pop. Fizz. Clink! Toast to the joy of a new year at the most glamorous party in the City, and add a little sparkle to your night. Shine your shoes, don your finest cocktail attire, and dance ’til dawn at the San Francisco Symphony’s Masquerade Ball.

We supply the masks and you create the memories at this fabulous concert and celebration. The party starts at 8pm with the swinging lounge tunes of The Martini Brothers in the main lobby. At 9pm, enjoy a lively concert. Afterward, complimentary La Marca® Prosecco will be flowing alongside desserts that taste as good as they look. Get your groove on with Super Diamond on the Second Tier, or harken back to the golden age of the 1930s with the Peter Mintun Orchestra and dance on the stage of Davies Symphony Hall.
