Filipino “All Souls Day”: Ancestors Altars & Afterlife Celebration (2023)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Filipino culture heals by honoring ancestors in a festival called “Undas” (also known as “Araw ng mga Patay” which translates to Day of the Dead in Tagalog) or All Souls Day.

From November 1st to 4th – “Ancestors Altar” will be open to the public at Kapwa Gardens.

2023 UPDATE – This Saturday’s Ancestor Altars will be moving indoors to Sentro Filipino, The San Francisco Filipino Cultural Center | 814 Mission St, San Francisco, CA

This art installation will remain open for four days so that community members have the opportunity to add their own photos, and pieces of remembrance and gather for the intention of celebrating our ancestors.

There will be a culminating event on November 4th where families can gather, share stories of their loved ones, and enjoy the day together.

Join us in November for an afterlife celebration as we listen to live musical performances, reflect together as a community, and remember our loved ones.
