Event Details

Our Annual Be Free Festival in San Francisco’s SOMA Pilipinas district is back! This year we’re partnering with Into The Streets SF,  celebrating the vibrant Filipino culture and Pride Month. Our SOMA wide crawl consists 12 different venues participating. Each of these locations will feature different activities and entertainment, from traditional music and dance performances to Filipino food tastings and cultural exhibitions. 

Adding to the celebration will be modern Filipino American music and DJs, adding an exciting twist. SOMA Pilipinas’ lively atmosphere makes this a great opportunity for the Filipino community and their friends to celebrate their culture and heritage. You’ll get the chance to explore the SOMA Pilipinas district and experience the rich and diverse culture of the Filipinos during this crawl.

 

Why Attend? The Be Free Festival is more than just an event; it’s a movement celebrating the power of freedom and self-expression. Whether you’re an artist, a performer, or someone who simply loves to experience new things, this festival is the place to be. Connect with like-minded individuals, be inspired by creativity, and enjoy a day of fun and freedom in one of San Francisco’s most beloved neighborhoods.
