Every year, San Francisco comes alive with the vibrant energy of Carnaval San Francisco, the largest multicultural celebration on the West Coast. Now in its fourth decade, this iconic festival brings together diverse cultures in a shared spirit of creativity, expression, and joy.

During the festival in the heart of the Mission District, attendees can immerse themselves in the rich traditions of Latin American and Caribbean cultures through live music and dance performances, dazzling costumes, arts and crafts exhibitors, delicious food and drink, and community showcases.
The highlight of the weekend is the Grand Parade, where colorful floats, dancers, and musicians take over the streets in a breathtaking display of cultural pride and unity.

What is Carnaval?
First held at Precita Park in 1979, Carnaval was organized by artists and organizers who wanted to pay homage to the historic Carnaval celebrations that take place all over Latin America and the Caribbean. Carnaval San Francisco is a vibrant celebration of culture, music, and dance that brings the Mission District to life. As the largest multicultural festival on the West Coast, it showcases the rich traditions of Latin America and the Caribbean through live performances, colorful costumes, delicious food, and an incredible sense of community.

Fun fact: Carnaval San Francisco was inspired by the world-famous celebrations in Brazil and the Caribbean, and it has been bringing joy to the city since 1979! Whether you're here for the music, the performances, or just the electric atmosphere, this festival is an unforgettable experience that captures the heart and soul of San Francisco.
