SUMMARY:3rd Annual Hungry Ghost Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco is thrilled to invite you to our 3rd Annual Hungry Ghost Festival on Saturday\, August 23\, from 4 9 p.m.\n\n\n\nSince launching in 2023\, the Hungry Ghost Festival has become one of the only citywide celebrations of its kind in the U.S.\, a multi-venue\, free\, family-friendly festival that reimagines ancient tradition through music\, large-scale art\, community booths\, and the unforgettable Ghost King Parade. In 2024\, the festival welcomed over 18\,000 attendees and brought in $400\,000+ in revenue for local small businesses.\n\n\n\nThis year's theme is "Demons of Our Times."
