On Friday, November 18th, Embarcadero Center hosted the 36th Annual Building Lighting Ceremony & Carnival! The family fun carnival included a variety of activities perfect for kids and adults, including carnival games, face painting, a special appearance from Santa & his elves, Disney’s Frozen the Musical themed photo opportunities, and a light show spectacular! To end the night, the San Francisco skyline was illuminated with 17,000 lights that outline Embarcadero Center. This officially kicked off the holiday season, as proclaimed by the Honorable Willie Lewis Brown Jr.!
Building Lighting Ceremony & Carnival Fun Facts: • This year’s celebration included a drone show as part of the light show spectacular. • All 17,000 light bulbs are installed by our Building Engineers. • Embarcadero Center is the only complex in the Bay Area that exhibits a lighting display of this magnitude. • The original idea of the iconic holiday lights at Embarcadero Center was originally discussed over cocktails and was scribbled on a napkin. From there several years of holiday festivities were made! • The rooftop of 275 Battery, Hyatt Regency SF, and Park Hyatt (now Le Meridien) used to be a part of the holiday lights. 1
