In its ninth year, the Nob Hill institution’s Carnivale channeled an enchanting Venetian evening — complete with traditional masquerade and commedia dell’arte — for a record-breaking 425-person guest list. Chaired by Lily M. Bowles Leo, the splashy affair raised $525,000 and announced Alonzo King (of Alonzo King LINES Ballet) as the cathedral’s 2019 artist in residence. A few notable names reveling in the festivities: David W. Walker, Ute Bowes, Tom Steyer and Kat Taylor.
