10 Years of SOMA Pilipinas
This year marks ten years of SOMA Pilipinas as San Francisco’s Filipino Cultural Heritage District. Over the past decade, SOMA Pilipinas has grown through the collective work of community members committed to preserving Filipino presence, culture, and history in South of Market while continuing to respond to the ongoing challenges facing the neighborhood today.
DEKADA Events
Power the Next Decade
As SOMA Pilipinas enters its next decade, we invite our community and allies to help sustain this work through donations and continued support for preserving Filipino history and presence in South of Market. As displacement and funding cuts continue to threaten our communities, become 1 of 100 monthly sustainers helping power the next decade of SOMA Pilipinas.
Join us for gatherings including Filipino Heritage Night with the Golden State Valkyries in August, the Dekada Dance Party in September,
and many more programs celebrating community, culture, and collective action.
