Spring Night Gala 2026 Photos

Peace, Love, and Community is a celebration of the values that make San Francisco Waldorf School education enduring and transformative -- and an invitation to contribute to the experience in every classroom. Rooted in the Waldorf commitment to educating the whole human being, this theme honors the intentional, relationship-centered education that guides students from Parent and Child classes through Twelfth Grade.

Spring Night is San Francisco Waldorf School's annual community celebration and fundraising event. Sponsorships and tickets are available January 30th through March 12th. This year's Spring Night Gala theme is Peace, Love, and Community.

Enjoy an evening filled with light, laughter, color, and celebration. You'll enjoy a delectable buffet along with enticing beverages, including a special cocktail/mocktail designed exclusively for our Gala. You'll have the opportunity to bid (and win) selective immersive experiences during our short live auction. You'll peruse and fall in love with several items in our silent auction. An online auction accompanies our Spring Night Gala, allowing our broader community that is unable to attend to participate and support the school.

Your support ensures that this education remains accessible, vibrant, and responsive to the needs of today's children. Through your generosity, students are able to learn through the arts, engage deeply with the natural world, and grow into thoughtful, capable you adults prepared to contribute with conscience and courage. This evening is not only a celebration of who we are, but a collective commitment to what we can continue to make possible.

This event reflects the heart of Waldorf education and our commitment to nurturing the whole human being from Parent Child classes through Twelfth Grade. Inspired by the spirit of the Summer of Love and guided by Waldorf principles, this theme honors education as a journey that unfolds in rhythm with a child's development -- head, heart, and hands.

Peace is cultivated through a learning environment that values balance, reverence, and deep attention to the inner life of the child. Love lives in the enduring relationships between teachers and students, in the care taken to meet each stage of growth with intention and respect. Community is formed as families, Faculty, Staff, and students grow together over time, creating a school culture rooted in trust, creativity, and shared purpose.
