December 17, 2022 | Find the Fountain in Its Finery for 3 More Weeks

Friends and neighbors:

Happy holidays!

Just a note to remind you that for the next three weeks, the Fountain at The Circle will remain dressed for the season, with garlands of green around the perimeter of the center island and wreaths and kippahs adorning the fountain’s grizzly bear cubs. The lights come on about sundown and remain on for several hours, and then again early in the morning until sun-up.

We hope you will pay a visit and enjoy the scene. If you are driving through The Circle, please proceed with caution and pay attention to the flow of traffic, and look out for pedestrians and cyclists. If you don’t want to rush taking in the view, please park nearby and walk to The Circle. There are a number of vantage points all around. The Circle is also an easy walk from the top of the Solano Avenue shopping district and, via Fountain Walk, from the end of Sutter Street near the east end of Hopkins Street, just before the tunnel to Solano Avenue.

We wish everyone a happy and healthy holiday season and new year!
