Change in leadership is coming to San Francisco on Wednesday as Daniel Lurie is sworn in as the city’s new mayor.
Lurie’s inauguration kicks off in Civic Center and will be open to the public, but seating will be limited to ticketed guests. It will be at 11:30 a.m., but ABC7’s coverage will begin at 11 a.m.
He plans to start the day volunteering at St. Anthony’s, walking through the Tenderloin, and enjoying hot chocolate with his family at Ghirardelli Square before the swearing-in ceremony.
Once the inauguration wraps up, the community will be invited inside City Hall for an open house. Organizers say it will include live music, a photo line with the mayor, and an opportunity to write a wish for the city.
Chinatown celebration
Preparations were underway in Chinatown for a historic inauguration day celebration. The festivities will include a night market, concert, and a unity banquet. Lurie will become the first mayor to mark their first day in office with a celebration in Chinatown.
