Festival Companion

The next festival, and how to keep it

The festivals ahead, in date order, for the San Francisco Bay Area. Choose one to see its date and the reason for that day, what it is, how families keep it, what is offered, and what to do next. Every date and every sentence comes from this site’s festival calendar.

About these dates

Each date is computed for the Bay Area, so it can fall a day earlier than a calendar made for India — the same astronomy, a different place. How the dates are made. Where a date matters for a ceremony, please confirm it with Sri Kumar Gurukkal.
