Celebrate the ceremonial re-lighting of the Ferry Building in honor of the centennial of the 100th anniversary of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition.

For the duration of the 1915 Exposition the Ferry Building was festooned with lights, a beacon proudly proclaiming “1915” to the world. This lighting will be recreated in a civic ceremony beginning at 5:30 pm on Tuesday, March 3, 2015.

Lights will be switched on at 6:15 pm and remain on until December 4, 2015, the night the Fair closed.

That same evening, in the Ferry Building at Book Passage, Laura Ackley will be signing her book San Francisco’s Jewel City.
