Carnaval San Francisco is a beloved two-day event featuring a Grand Parade and two-day Festival, celebrating music and cultural elements from Latin American and Caribbean traditions.

Now in its fourth decade of celebration,  Carnaval San Francisco has been an event for many cultures to come together in one spirit to share their creative expression. Come celebrate with us at the 42nd annual Carnaval San Francisco, a FREE 2-day family festival in San Francisco’s Mission District over Memorial Day weekend, May 23rd and 24th, 10am-6pm, where we will showcase the very best Latin American and Caribbean cultural arts and traditions. Carnaval San Francisco is the largest multi-cultural celebration on the West Coast. 

This  theme of the 42nd Annual Carnaval is  Salud Es Poder / Health is Wealth.  Eight city blocks in San Francisco’s Mission District will be bursting with soccer, music, dance, and exotic food from the many countries that celebrate Carnaval. The Grand Parade is a dazzling display of pageantry. With an annual attendance of well over 400,000,  The two-day Festival takes place on Harrison Street between 16th and 24th Streets and will offer food, music, dance, arts & crafts, and other fun activities and entertainment on every street corner for the entire family to enjoy.
