Join San Francisco in the Citywide civic celebration to honor the acclaimed, award-winning singer Tony Bennett whose signature song “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” was recorded 50 years ago. The free public tribute with Tony Bennett will take place on Valentine’s Day, Tuesday, February 14, 2012, at noon in the City Hall Rotunda. The ceremony will conclude with a city-wide sing along of the famed San Francisco tune. San Franciscans are encouraged to stop what they are doing and sing along to “I Left My Heart in San Francisco” from office buildings, parks, sidewalks or where ever they are in the City.
