San Francisco Bay Area: Skylawn Memorial Park in Half Moon Bay Holds 2026 Chung Yeung Festival With Chanting, Blessings and a Lion Dance
Skylawn Memorial Park in Half Moon Bay, in the San Francisco Bay Area, held its 2026 Chung Yeung Festival & Wall of Honor on Saturday, October 10 and Sunday, October 11, 2026, an event themed on remembering ancestors and bringing generations together for the Double Ninth Festival. This year's Double Ninth Festival falls on October 18, the ninth day of the ninth lunar month, and the celebration was held one weekend in advance.
The event was presented by Skylawn Funeral Home, Memorial Park and Crematory at 888 LifeMark Road, Half Moon Bay, CA 94019. The schedule was the same on both days: chanting and a blessing led by the Sunflower Temple of San Francisco at 10:00 a.m., a lion dance at 12:00 p.m., and a closing ceremony led by the Sunflower Temple at 2:00 p.m.
On site, Master Michael Chan offered feng shui consultations, a free lunch was provided, and the first 300 visitors each day received a free kite. Sing Tao Radio broadcast live from the park on Saturday, October 10, with on-site prizes. The organizer also set up a Wall of Honor: visitors could come to the park and add the names of departed loved ones to a physical memorial wall built for the celebration, or place names on an online Wall of Honor. According to the organizer, the Chung Yeung tradition of remembrance has been part of Chinese culture for more than 2,500 years.
Attendance was in person at the park, and the organizer's event page listed no ticket or reservation arrangement. The contact number for enquiries is (650) 227-3142, and the memorial park's cemetery hours are 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.
