SUMMARY:Celebration: San Francisco Flor y Canto Literary Festival
DESCRIPTION:<p>Over the course of three days, the San Francisco Flor y Canto 2024 festival takes over The Mission with a literary and cultural celebration. Led by the legacy of the city's first Latino poet laureate, <a href="https://sfpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/search?query=Murgu%C3%ADa%2C%20Alejandro&searchType=author"><u>Alejandro Murguia</u></a>, the festival honors La Mission's rich literary lineage while welcoming voices from California to around the world.</p>
