Festival of Altars

On November 2, 2023, Day of the Dead Festival of Altars will be held in Potrero Del Sol Park aka. La Raza Park (35th St. and San Bruno Ave.) Please come and participate in building an altar or come to view the community altars.

The making and viewing of traditional, contemporary, or experimental altars is a uniquely transformative experience connecting us closer to our Ancestors. Bring flowers, 8-inch glass prayer candles, and mementos of loved ones to contribute to the Community Altars.
