Bay to LA 2023


WHAT:
The Association of Korean Adoptees | SF (AKA-SF) is excited to host its 3rd annual Bay to LA event! We can’t wait to see familiar faces, meet new ones, and build/empower our California adoptee communities! Bay to LA is mostly a social community gathering for Korean Adoptees with special events sprinkled in. We’ve been meeting in LA’s Koreatown for the last three years so that we can include individuals from across our San Francisco, Los Angeles, and San Diego areas. Want to see what we’ve done in previous years? Click the links below or visit our Instagram/Facebook page!
