Free “Sun Sala” Sunset Celebration: Filipino Art + DJs (Yerba Buena Gardens)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Dear community,

We’re continuing the community activation of the Sun Dome with a SunSet Celebration! On Friday, October 2nd from 5:30-8:00pm, come kick off Filipino American History Month with us for a night filled with community, art, reflection, and dancing. To read more about the new art installation, check out this piece from Mission Local. 

This choreography of light transcends space and time, connecting the Filipino diaspora to the motherland’s natural rhythm—a luminous reminder of identity, of belonging, of home. 

Presented in collaboration with Yerba Buena Conservancy, Yerba Buena Gardens, and Yerba Buena Partnership, it is the first Filipino cultural marker in Yerba Buena. We will have Kapwa is Medicine facilitator, Rafi Bunal, lead the evening, along with youth from Sama-Sama Cooperative and special guests. Come dressed in your Philippine regalia and participate in the Walk Off, whether traditional or modern, dressed-up or keeping it casual, come authentically you! (Ps: There will be a prize for who comes best dressed).

As the Sun Dome rises it will illuminate a not to be missed Riff-off DJ Bitesize & DJ Deeandroid 

To RSVP, please go to Sun Sala and share with your community. See you there!

More details to come for what you can expect from this illuminating and interactive evening. 

In community,

FMHI-SF
