Walkers in the procession will meet at the corner of 22nd and Bryant which is the starting point of the procession.If you'd like you can bring a photo of a loved one who has passed on and a candle to light to symbolize a lighting of their path while interacting with the living.

Having a Dia de los Muertos event!!




Join Michele Simons and Martha Rodriguez (that's me) for sugar skull decorating* and cool Day of the Dead jewelry and gifts. In addition, we would love your help in building a community altar by adding your photo copies of familia, friends that have passed. There will also be free art supplies on hand to make custom frames, or nichos, and free supplies for making papel picado and crepe paper flowers to add on to the "bones" of a large altar we have created in Studio 24. Any photo copies 5x7 or smaller will be great and have the Little ones (that means of the child nature) bring photos of pets they would like to add to the altar if no family members or friends have passed on.

*$10.00 for adults, $5.00 for children

Time
Sunday, October 23 · 11:00am - 5:00pm

Location Studio 24 /Galería De la Raza  2857 24th St. @ Bryant San Francisco,CA

Sunday Streets means that some streets in the Mission will be closed off to traffic. That means lots of bikers and walkers on the streets and lots of fun. Bryant Street will be open to traffic so if you're driving, park around Bryant and walk to the corner of  Bryant and 24th. We are on the South / West corner of 24th - just in case you know your directions!
