History of Day of the Dead and the altars in San Francisco

San Francisco’s first Day of the Dead procession was organized in 1977. Over time, Day of the Dead has become a unique San Francisco tradition as neighbors, community members and families gather on November 2 in the Mission district to celebrate Death and the Cycle of Life with art, music, and ritual to honor our ancestors and celebrates the vitality and richness of today’s community. While the ceremony remains true to its Latino roots, the San Francisco procession and Festival of Altars actively encourages participation by people of all origins.

Bring candles, photos, food, or something that reminds you of a person that has passed away. The ofrendas / altars are community art installations that are intended to change as each person adds something to the hearth.
