The Hillcrest Community Ofrenda was envisioned by Rick Cervantes to expand upon the ofrenda he had built in his home for many years in honor of brother who was murdered in 2016. To make the ofrenda a project for the entire community to participate in, Rick decided to build the Hillcrest Community Ofrenda at the base of the Hillcrest Pride Flag starting in 2022 to provide a space for the entire Hillcrest and LGBTQ communities to honor their loved ones. The ofrenda will be built on Monday, Oct. 28 starting at 4 p.m., and will stay up 24 hours a day through 5 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 31. Community volunteers will take shifts watching over the ofrenda day and night. Community members are welcome to stop by anytime to view the ofrenda or place mementos.

The 2nd San Diego Hong Kong Film Festival features 4 movies from different eras. Boat People (1982) tells the story of life in Vietnam after the communist takeover which eventually led to numerous civilians fleeing the country by boat. Once Upon a Time in China (1991) is a classic action movie that explores how China responds towards the introduction of western civilization and values through the story of a kung fu master. Movies like All Shall Be Well and Once Upon a Time in HKDSE (both released in 2024) are examples of recent production aiming for the Hong Kong market (without access to mainland Chinese market) which greatly limits their budget. They tend to delve into local and non-mainstream topics like LGBT. Discussion sessions following Boat People and All Shall Be Well will be held at the venue.
