From exciting neighborhoods rich in diversity to scenic wonders that enrich the senses and enliven the soul, San Francisco beckons to all who enjoy eclectic culture, history, and the performing arts. “The City by the Bay” sits on the edge of the Pacific with cable cars that transport visitors from around the world to Chinatown, the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman’s Wharf, Alcatraz, and many other unique attractions. Just south of the city, California’s Great America theme park hosts the gala awards ceremony, cookout, and dance.
