Join Acción Latina for Paseo Artístico: Raise Your Voice/Levanta La Voz in the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District Saturday June 13, 2026. The Mission District’s FREE bilingual community art stroll PASEO ARTÍSTICO returns with an all day event featuring artists who fight for their rights to free expression and sustainability in San Francisco.
Paseo Artistico is encouraging community members to come out and support homegrown Mission District artists in demanding that the City of San Francisco and philanthropy do more to support and sustain cultural arts and creative life. We are facing a number of difficulties as a cultural community including large losses of funding, censorship, closure of the Mission Cultural Center, and an uncertain political future. To raise awareness we are featuring artists who specialize in speaking out, raising their voices about who they love, what they represent, and why San Francisco’s cultural community is so important. We are featuring all women Puertorican bomba group Batey Tambo at Brava’s Cabaret Theater. Medicine for Nightmares Bookstore hosts a reading and book release celebration of queer poetics with Lourdes Figueroa. The young trans artists of color from Ancestral Dream Collective will showcase their linocut prints at Artillery AG Studio. Made in the City will host the popular Stoop Sessions music collective. There’s cumbia from Malagreña and Chicano country-folk music from Josiah Flores at Accion Latina, and Mariachi CMC performs outside in front of Temo’s Cafe. As always Paseo Artistico is family friendly and free for the entire community.

Stoop Sessions: Stoop Sessions started as a series of pop-up shows around San Francisco featuring the Top Chefs & friends. Now, it's evolved into a platform for artists of all genres to have their songs reimagined by the band! The Top Chefs are a powerhouse live band based in San Francisco. Known for their dynamic performances that blend hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and soul, the group transforms stages with a sound that is both forward-thinking and rooted in tradition. In 2026, you can look forward to their debut album and their viral new content series, Stoop Sessions, where they perform live with a variety of artists in the San Francisco streets.
Mariachi CMC: Mariachi CMC, a community based ensemble directed by Community Music Center’s Martha Rodríguez-Salazar that explores the history and the different musical styles of Mariachi. Mariachi CMC will perform from its repertoire of traditional Mariachi music and instructors, Miguel Govea and Daphne Gonzalez-Cambambia.
Ancestral Dreams Collective We are a collective of young queer and trans POC artists who explore linocut printmaking as personal and political art. We create art as a way to connect further with our present selves, our ancestors, and with community. Our art brings our ancestors' stories and the futures we imagine into reality and radically envisions a different way of being, relating, and loving each other. We aim to produce art that disrupts, awakens, and calls people into the struggle for our collective freedom. Our collective works span across and between several mediums and research topics, including film photography, performance, painting, ceramics, comics, poetry, risograph, zines, and printmaking. Our collaboration began as a cohort of young queer people learning how to print linocut at SOMArts, as a part of the Queer Ancestors Project. In October 2025, our collective designed and installed an altar, “Bring some home with you”, for the annual SOMArts Dia de Muertos exhibition.

Lourdes Figueroa is the editor of The Magnolia Tree Grazing: A Celebration of Queer Poetics Anthology Project, a poetry anthology and workshop series reflecting the diverse queer voices forming Bay Area Literary Landscape. This artisan made book grew from a six-week generative poetry workshop crafted by Lourdes Figueroa in the Mission District, focusing on bipocx queer poetics offering a tender space to explore and create poetry. The printed anthology is a collaboration between Lourdes Figueroa, The Celebration of Queer Poetics Workshop, and Murciélago Prensa, Cinthia Marisol Lozano Garcia Amaya. This artist/event is copresented by the San Francisco Flor Y Canto : Over the course of three days, the San Francisco Flor y Canto 2026 festival takes over The Mission with a literary and cultural celebration. Led by the legacy of the city's first Latino poet laureate, Alejandro Murguia, the festival honors La Mission's rich literary lineage while welcoming voices from California to around the world. From the opening invocation in Balmy Alley to poetry readings echoing through Calle Veinte Cuatro and inside participating businesses like Precita Eye, Acción Latina and Medicine for Nightmares Books & Gallery—the festival brings together acclaimed authors and poets. Throughout the three-day span, the festival fosters connections and community, reading, poetry, art, youth events and more. Don’t miss the magic of words and creativity, they become part of a collective narrative that celebrates the beauty of literature and the enduring spirit of La Mission.
Batey Tambó: Batey Tambó is an Oakland and San Francisco-based, women of color-led, cultural group grounded in the centuries-old musical tradition of Afro-Indigenous Puerto Rican Bomba. Batey Tambó director/founder Denise Solís (La Bombera de la Bahia), founded one of the first ever all female Bomba ensembles, Las Bomberas de la Bahia, and more recently co-founded and co-led, Taller Bombalele. She has been a student of Bomba since 2001 and continues to learn from maestrx and elders from Puerto Rico and the Diaspora. Denise Solis is one of the first women to play the subidor (lead drum) in the tradition of Bomba.
Josiah Flores: Part-time poet turned melodic storyteller, Chicano singer/songwriter Josiah Flores puts music to the parts of life most tend to hide from. From the foothills of south San Jose to the foggy avenues of San Francisco, he calls the Bay Area his home. Influenced by the likes of Stoney Edwards, Freddy Fender, and Willie Dunn, if one were to sit in a dimly-lit corner of their local watering hole, hunched over a beer, they would find Josiah’s songs sitting down next to them.
Mala Greña - Mala Greña is a Queer fronted Dark Psych Cumbia project from the bay area. Cumbia en contra de cistemas! Playing Cumbia classics from everywhere and originals taking Cumbia into Dark Psicodélica with a little bit of a stoner rebajada feel, interweaving between different genres such as Huapango, Mambo, Bolero and more. Our music touches on queer identity, Fighting against and surviving in colonized systems and building community.
