A Final Community Gathering: Celebrating 5 Years of Kapwa Gardens 
Before Kapwa Gardens officially closes its gates, we’re calling on our entire community to gather one more time—for a joyful, heartfelt farewell to the garden that gave us five radiant years of healing, celebration, and connection.
YUM YAMS returns for a final bloom—our most beloved event, revived to honor Kapwa’s legacy and all who shaped it. This is more than a party. It’s a community ritual. A moment to remember what we built together, and to dream into what’s next.
Centered around UBE—Filipino culture’s purple jewel—this event returns in full bloom to its original birthplace.
Expect the same magic that made Yum Yams the most cherished event of Kapwa’s run:
Vibrant performances
Delicious ube-inspired eats
Community dancing
Reflections on our shared past
Visions for the future Kapwa—just three blocks away
Over the past five years, Kapwa Gardens has:
Transformed a parking lot into a place of belonging
Been built and nurtured by 300+ volunteers
Hosted artists, healers, and organizers
Held space for joy, resistance, and cultural celebration
Now, as the garden makes way for new senior housing development, we pause to say thank you. We honor the land, the hands, and the hearts behind every moment here. And we look ahead to what’s next—with hope, with music, and with ube.
We look forward to reconnecting with you all.
Let’s send Kapwa Gardens off with love.
