About the Event
Look up at Saints Peter & Paul Church tonight, and you will see the heart of North Beach glowing under dynamic, color-changing LED lights.
Thanks to your generous support, the SFIAC Foundation’s Light Up North Beach campaign - our signature commitment from the 2025 Annual Appeal - is officially complete! Permanently illuminating this iconic landmark is a vibrant testament to what our community can achieve when we rally behind a shared vision. Seeing the tricolore projected across the facade this past Italian Heritage Month served as a proud reminder of our shared roots and history.
To celebrate, we are lighting up the square for the Christmas Season!
As we launch our 2026 Annual Appeal (ends December 31), we want to build on this momentum. Your support lights the path forward for cultural preservation, neighborhood vitality, and community unity.
Will you join us once again in keeping our heritage bright?
