Where to Find Nutcracker Ballets in the Bay Area: BayAreaNutcracker.com

This post was most recently updated on July 11th, 2019

One of my favorite ways to support our local dance companies is the Guide to Bay Area Nutcracker performances on BayAreaNutcracker.com,  our Annual Guide to Nutcracker performances in the San Francisco Bay area. Nutcracker performances will also be listed on CelebrateFamily.us as they are added to calendar.

Nutcracker performances begin Thanksgiving weekend and continue until December 30th.  Nutcracker Weekend will be December 7-9, 2018 with December 15-16 being a close second.  These weekends will have the most number of performances.

For families looking for Nutcracker teas or cast parties, look for the candy cane.

Don’t forget the magic of meeting the dancers. Whether the event is called Sweet Dreams, Sugar Plum or Family Performance it always means the same thing, an opportunity to meet and greet costumed cast members, refreshments and perhaps a picture or two with Clara or the Mouse King.
