2025 Guide to Bay Area Nutcracker Ballets

Our Annual Guide to Nutcracker performances in the San Francisco Bay area. 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.

Nutcracker Weekend will be December 13-14, 2025 with December 6-7, 2025 being a close second. These weekends will have the most number of performances.
