Parol Lantern Festival

The Parol Lantern Festival is an annual Filipino Christmas Celebration that includes music, presentations from cultural leaders, and a parade from Jessie Square, through Yerba Buena Lane, and around the Esplanade in Yerba Buena Gardens.

This year’s theme of “WE ARE THE LIGHT“, celebrates the resilience of Filipino leaders, artists, youth, student groups, and families who have been facing challenges for decades in San Francisco and the Bay Area.
