City of Wonder: A Holiday Celebration for Families

Wednesday December 16th 2026 • 4:30-7pm

San Francisco’s City Hall, 1 Doctor Carlton B Goodlett Place, San Francisco, CA

Join Children’s Council for City of Wonder, when the city’s most iconic civic space becomes a place of discovery, imagination, and celebration for our youngest San Franciscans. Children will explore City Hall with behind-the-scenes access and festive hands-on activities.

While kids explore, parents are invited to an elevated cocktail reception with community leaders and philanthropists united in the belief that San Francisco is strongest when every child has the opportunity to thrive.

Every ticket supports Children’s Council’s work helping San Francisco families access the early care, education, and support that build strong foundations for their children. That includes complimentary invitations for families who might not otherwise have access to an event like this.
