San Francisco’s historic Union Street will kick off its holiday celebration on December 7 with the annual Union Street Fantasy of Lights. Each year, the Fantasy of Lights brings young and old together to celebrate the season viewing thousands of twinkling white lights illuminating the Victorian houses and shops along Union Street between Van Ness and Steiner and Fillmore Street between Union and Lombard. The Fantasy of Lights kicks off on Saturday, December 7 from 3pm – 7pm with a packed line-up of family friendly activities and events. Don’t miss the inaugural Ugly Holiday Sweater competition on December 21, which is sure to be festive and fun.
Enjoy San Francisco’s Union Street transformed into a magical backdrop of holiday cheer. There will be entertainment on every block for shoppers to enjoy! Including pony rides, jugglers, face painting, costumed characters, balloon animals, singers, sweets and more! See Union Street, holiday style, and hop on the Horse Drawn Carriage! The pickup location is in front of Wells Fargo at Laguna. Get your photo taken with Santa from 5:30pm to 7pm in front of the Cudworth Mansion (2040 Union St.).

At 5:15pm, Children are invited to meet at The Enchanted Crystal (1895 Union St) to join the Snow Queen in a sidewalk prance to the Cudworth Mansion to bring toys to Santa Claus who will donate them to the San Francisco Firefighters’ Toy program.
