#welovesf Gala: Portrait of a City

Attire
Creative Black Tie
You are San Francisco. San Francisco is You.
Come dressed in creative black tie and express your own Portrait of a City. Whether that means classic black tie with unique personal details, bold fashion, or a creative nod to San Francisco, we invite you to showcase what you bring to this city or what the city means to you.
Vibe
Immersive, energetic, and art-forward. Expect a space filled with Bay Area artists, immersive entertainment produced in partnership with EMPIRE, and interactive experiences inspired by our theme, Portrait of a City. The line between guest and experience is intentionally blurred, creating an evening designed to spark connection, creativity, and celebration.
What to Expect
This year's gala will feature Bay Area artists, immersive entertainment produced in partnership with EMPIRE, local chefs and beverage partners, a silent auction highlighting local creatives, and interactive experiences inspired by our theme, Portrait of a City.
At its core, the evening brings together a community that believes in investing in San Francisco and the people shaping what comes next. All proceeds benefit the Presidio Bay Foundation, whose initiatives advance workforce development, civic engagement, arts and culture, and affordable housing across the Bay Area.
