Make room on your calendars for a special day in the Bay Area this fall.

After bringing ALF to different cities over the past three years — including Chicago, New Jersey, and Seattle — ALA is excited to bring the 4th year of ALF to the Bay Area for the very first time.

On September 26, 2026, join us for ALF 2026: Kerala to the Bay — a day of books, art, conversations, music, dance, food, kids’ workshops and activities, and community.

We have many beautiful things planned for you, with artists, writers, and performers from Kerala joining hands with local Bay Area talent to inspire, entertain, and bring us together on this special day.

Come spend the day with friends, meet people who love the same things you do, and enjoy everything we are bringing together. More details are coming soon.

And if you would love to be a part of this in any way, let us know — let’s do this together.

We hope you leave with a full heart, good memories, and a feeling that you want more of this.
