What to Expect at this Event

Join us at Presidio Tunnel Tops for a family-friendly Día de los Muertos & Diwali event in the park. Celebrated annually in the fall season, these two distinct cultural observances come together in the Presidio to honor South Asian and Latinx traditions. Attendees are invited to reflect on the social and environmental justice issues from both cultures through ceremony and ancestral teachings, arts and crafts, storytelling and cultural dance. 

Contact Miriam Manda with any accessibility needs at mmanda@presidiotrust.gov or 423.704.7187. Note that submitting your request at least two weeks before the event will help ensure availability.
