The day will be celebrated at 3 p.m. in Dolores Park, near the children’s playground. It’s a time to remember and honor Virginia Ramos, lovingly known as"the Tamale Lady" to late-night patrons throughout the city. It wasn’t a real night out in the Mission if you didn’t run into Ramos trudging down the street, pushing her plastic, four-wheeled cart with two coolers filled to the brim with tamales. “Tamales, tamales,” she would shout over the patrons and punk rock music emanating from the jukebox as she walked in and out of several Mission dive bars.
She was just as much a source of comfort as she was sustenance for the community. In 2006, she was awarded a Certificate of Honor from the Board of Supervisors for her contributions to the city of San Francisco.
