Annual Events
Flores de Mayo
Held every May in the heart of San Francisco’s Filipino Cultural Heritage District, Flores de Mayo is a vibrant tribute to Filipino faith, beauty, and resilience. From the graceful sagalas of Santacruzan to the rhythms of cultural performances, this annual celebration honors tradition while blooming with the energy of our senior residents.
Parol Lantern Festival
Held every December, the Parol Lantern Festival lights up SOMA Pilipinas with the spirit of hope, community, and Filipino pride. Handmade parols—each one a story—illuminate the night as families, artists, and youth come together to carry tradition forward through art, music, and collective joy.
