The 24th Street Latino Cultural District has organized a Christmas Bazaar where you can purchase local crafts and other items representing Mission and Indigenous cultures.
This will be an afternoon to share with family, filled with Christmas cheer, music, and color. There will be Christmas drinks for sale, tapas, a silent auction, live music, theatrical performances, and the highlight of the day will be the arrival of Santa Claus in a lowrider.
This year, all proceeds will go to the 24th Street Latino Cultural District for the preservation of cultural heritage in San Francisco’s Mission District.

Ballet Nepantla presents its Christmas production, Nacimiento.
For the third consecutive year, Ballet Nepantla presents its production, Nacimiento, showcasing the magical warmth of Christmas and Mexican traditions.
Nacimiento merges the story of the birth of mestizaje (racial and cultural mixing) with the rise of Christianity and Christmas in the New World. It explores pre-Hispanic rituals and the impact of colonization in the Americas. Nacimiento examines the stories of La Malinche, Juan Diego, and the Virgin of Guadalupe, as well as other historical figures whose stories are fundamental to the identities of the New World.
The second act of Nacimiento demonstrates the festive nature of how Mexican Christmas traditions are celebrated today in Mexico and North America through the Posadas: festive dances and the narration of the Nativity. For this season, they have scheduled two performances, one on Saturday, December 14, at 8:00 p.m. and another on Sunday, December 15, at 3:00 p.m., both at the Brava Theater Center, located at 2781 24th Street, San Francisco.
