Kick Off the 22nd Annual Architecture + the City Festival with an Opening Night Party in Downtown San Francisco!
The Center for Architecture + Design comes alive with live music, food, drinks, and dancing as the city’s largest celebration of architecture and design gets underway.
Highlights include a sneak peek of our Architecture + the City Silent Auction—featuring curated objects created by architects and designers and archival artwork—plus a chance to challenge friends to a ping pong tournament!
This festive evening also marks the opening of The Reimagined City: San Francisco 2000–2025, a new exhibition curated by John King and Robin Abad Ocubillo. The show invites audiences to reflect on the city’s dramatic transformation over the past quarter century, presenting snapshots of civic spaces, architecture, and urban landscapes that reveal how San Francisco continues to reinvent itself.
Together, the exhibition and party launch a month of 25+ events across San Francisco—from walking tours and design lectures to film screenings and youth programs—celebrating the city’s culture of creativity and reinvention.
