About free event:
Paseo Artístico, the Mission District’s signature free, bilingual art walk, returns on Saturday, October 11, 2025, with a powerful theme: “History Matters in the Mission 2010 – 2020.”
From the glory and excitement of three SF Giants World Series championships to the struggles with second wave tech gentrification and evictions, the reignited sanctuary city movement, Google busses, protests for police accountability and hunger strikes by the Frisco 5, Paseo Artístico brings back the stories of the last decade and invites artists to pay tribute to cultural moments, social movements, and artistic voices.
The event will span multiple venues across the Mission, with a curated schedule of visual art, live music, poetry, dance, and film. Each piece illuminates the local history and collective memory of the 2010s.
