๐Ÿ’œ A Final Community Gathering: Celebrating 5 Years of Kapwa Gardens ๐Ÿ’œ

Before Kapwa Gardens officially closes its gates, weโ€™re calling on our entire community to gather one more timeโ€”for a joyful, heartfelt farewell to the garden that gave us five radiant years of healing, celebration, and connection.

๐Ÿ’œYUM YAMS returns for a final bloomโ€”our most beloved event, revived to honor Kapwaโ€™s legacy and all who shaped it. This is more than a party. Itโ€™s a community ritual. A moment to remember what we built together, and to dream into whatโ€™s next.

๐Ÿ’œ Centered around UBEโ€”Filipino cultureโ€™s purple jewelโ€”this event returns in full bloom to its original birthplace.

Expect the same magic that made Yum Yams the most cherished event of Kapwaโ€™s run:

โœจ Vibrant performances
๐Ÿ  Delicious ube-inspired eats
๐Ÿ’ƒ Community dancing
๐Ÿชž Reflections on our shared past
๐Ÿ”ฎ Visions for the future Kapwaโ€”just three blocks away

Over the past five years, Kapwa Gardens has:

๐ŸŒฑ Transformed a parking lot into a place of belonging
๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Been built and nurtured by 300+ volunteers
๐ŸŽจ Hosted artists, healers, and organizers
๐ŸŽ‰ Held space for joy, resistance, and cultural celebration

Now, as the garden makes way for new senior housing development, we pause to say thank you. We honor the land, the hands, and the hearts behind every moment here. And we look ahead to whatโ€™s nextโ€”with hope, with music, and with ube.

We look forward to reconnecting with you all.

Letโ€™s send Kapwa Gardens off with love.๐Ÿ’œ
