The recent Lunar New Year celebration at the SF Symphony showcased a vibrant cultural festival filled with traditional elements like red lanterns, calligraphy, and live performances. Attendees enjoyed a festive atmosphere that highlighted community bonds and the local arts scene. Mayor Daniel Lurie delivered an empowering speech focused on reshaping narratives about San Francisco, emphasizing resilience and local pride in the face of external criticism. The report reflects on personal experiences and the joyful ambiance that characterizes this important cultural event.
"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."
"Lunar New Year is a time for family, and also a time for red envelopes. The annual concert in Civic Center bathed Davies Symphony Hall in a glow of red lanterns and bamboo wrapped in delicate floral arrangements."
