2019 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.

Our list has placed the ballets in alphabetical order according to the performance city, and then in order of the dates of the performances.

Nutcracker Weekend will be December 14-15, 2019 with December 21-22, 2019 being a close second. These weekends will have the most number of performances.
