ABOUT THE MARIGOLD PROJECT
Marigold Project is a Mission based nonprofit. Our purpose is to
preserve, promote, and share the rituals and practices of Day of
the Dead in San Francisco.
We do this each year by:
- Coordinating and commissioning the free, outdoor Altar Exhibit on November 2
- Publishing this website
- Distributing flyers and posters for the Procession and Altar Exhibit
- Creating a public space for community
members to honor the loss of loved ones in their lives and to connect with one another through art and expression over the timeless subject of death and dying
Marigold Project is fiscally sponsored by CounterPULSE. We are generously supported by the San Francisco
Arts Commission, B.A.R.T., the Mission Merchants Association, Community Artists and Individuals.
