Sunday Streets SOMA Recap: a Filipino American History Month celebration and fun in the sun with 3,373 people
On October 13, Sunday Streets SOMA brought a fantastic community block party to Slow Streets SOMA – people enjoyed free ice cream and lumpia, walked and danced through the streets, and connected with neighbors old and new.
For those that missed the Ang Lip ni Lapu Lapu mural by SOMAPlipinas this past weekend at Sunday Streets, we recommend you add a stop along with checking out the other fantastic Bay Area events happening in October as part of Filipino American History Month.
Thank you to all our partners and sponsors – we would also like to highlight Filipina American singer/songwriter Frances Ancheta who brought music and healing joy to this bustling community event:
“As a creative arts therapist and cancer survivor, Frances definitely has experienced how music heals the soul, and she values music’s ability to help people understand the world around them, to connect with others, and to heal.”
