FREE concert celebrating Afro Filipinx music roots and traditions only at Yerba Buena Gardens Festival
Few artists have appeared at the Festival more frequently than flutist, percussionist and arranger John Calloway. Whether he’s leading his own band, performing in the sextet of longtime creative partner John Santos, or directing the Latin Jazz Youth Ensemble of San Francisco, Calloway is a Bay Area icon who’s been at the center of the San Francisco Latin jazz scene for some five decades. But his latest and most personal project yet, the Afro-Filipino Jazz Project, takes his music in a new direction. Founded in 2022 as a creative, interactive space, the Project is intended to bring together Afro Filipinx, African American and Filipino American musicians to explore a broad range of musical styles, with a particular emphasis on jazz idioms, African American roots and traditional and folkloric Filipino music. It’s one component of the larger Afro-Filipino Project, a platform dedicated to highlighting and celebrating, individually and collectively, the art practices and artists of the African American and Filipino American communities whose contributions have profoundly shaped our nation's artistic narrative. For this performance the AFJP features bass star Marcus Shelby, inveterately grooving drummer Deszon Claiborne, Latin jazz piano specialist Murray Low, saxophonist TJ Milan, Conrad Benedicto on kulintang, vocalist and dancer Ting Alvarez and guest vocalist Anna Maria Flechero.

Three Valleys Community Foundation (3VCF) is pleased to host the 25th Annual Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Fellowship Breakfast & Awards, a morning of reflection, community, and inspiration in honor of the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
This year’s theme, “The Fierce Urgency of Now,” calls us to embrace Dr. King’s timeless message — that justice, compassion, and service cannot wait. Together, we will celebrate local leaders and changemakers who are taking bold, positive action to create a connected Tri-Valley region.
Our keynote speaker is three-time Superbowl Champion William "Bubba" Paris, whose message inspires all to see and believe that they are equipped with everything needed to meet the challenges of the moment.
We are also excited to recognize emerging leaders through our inaugural Young Philanthropist Award Program, honoring young trailblazers who are making a meaningful impact today through innovation, courage, and service.
Be part of this uplifting gathering that blends fellowship, reflection, and renewed commitment to the work of building stronger communities — today, not tomorrow.
