2023 Chinatown Hungry Ghosts Festival

  • Chinatown - Rosa Pak Station & Portsmouth Square, San Francisco 745 Kearny Street San Francisco, CA, 94108 United States (map)

Presented by Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco, join in Chinatown for an unforgettable evening filled with art, performances, activations, and a "Ghost King" parade. In Chinese diasporic culture, the Hungry Ghost Festival holds great significance as a cathartic experience for ancestors and restless souls, offering them a chance to heal from unjust pasts. This event brings together artists, collaborators, and cultural bearers from indigenous, immigrant, and queer communities, creating an inclusive and dynamic celebration of unity.
