Carnaval San Francisco 2008

For three decades, Carnaval San Francisco has been a much-cherished occasion for many cultures to come together in one spirit: to share in the exhilaration and creative expression, the abundance of beauty and community, the sheer joy and good times that makes Carnaval San Francisco such a rich experience and a spectacular sight to behold. This spring will see a major cause for celebration, with Carnaval San Francisco's 30th anniversary bash taking place in the Mission District over Memorial Day weekend, May 24 and 25.

California's largest annual multi-cultural celebration, Carnaval San Francisco 2008 – themed "Many Cultures - One Spirit" – will showcase the very best of what it truly means to be an American in our hemisphere when indigenous and syncretic, Caribbean and Latin, Brazilian and North American, cultures and traditions all come together in celebration. It is a great tantalizing array of food, music, dance and artistry, and its all hosted with pride at the birthplace of the Bay Area in the sunny Mission District.
