Community Events & Activations

The Presidio is a platform where all communities can enjoy arts and cultural experiences.

We collaborate with partners to create meaningful and exciting events and activations that invite different communities to the Presidio.

The Partnership for the Presidio works closely with community leaders and organizations to host events and activations that incorporate art, culture, food, healing, wellness, and music, and reflect the vibrancy of the Bay Area.

Access to the park helps create stronger relationships with community partners, builds community connections and memories in the Presidio, and creates new opportunities for artists, culture bearers, small business owners, performers and more, all while creating a more welcoming park for all.
