2026 Architecture + The City Festival Opening Party

Kick off the Annual Architecture + the City Festival with an unforgettable evening of music, community, and celebration at the Center for Architecture + Design in downtown San Francisco.

Enjoy music, light bites, and activities while connecting with architects, designers, artists, and fellow city lovers. Be among the first to celebrate the launch of the Center for Architecture + Design Campaign - DESIGN THE CITY. BUILD OUR FUTURE.

Throughout the evening, guests will have the opportunity to participate in our fundraising campaign, with exclusive thank-you gifts available for those who make a donation. Every contribution helps support the Center's mission to inspire, educate, and engage our community through architecture and design.

The Opening Party launches a month of Architecture + the City Festival programs, including walking tours, talks, film screenings, and more, celebrating the creativity, history, and future of San Francisco through architecture and design.

Join us as we celebrate the start of the festival, invest in the future of the Center, and kick off a month of discovery, connection, and design.

Hosted by the Center for Architecture + Design in collaboration with AIASF. While registration is processed through AIASF, 100% of ticket proceeds directly support the Center for Architecture + Design's public programs, exhibitions, and educational initiatives, helping us advance design awareness and foster meaningful conversations about the built environment.
