This weekend in the Mission District of San Francisco is the annual Carnaval Festival.  The parade route goes right by our house.  Its pretty amazing to see, and all just by walking out the front door.  Although the festivities make normal life a little more difficult (our street is closed to traffic, there is no parking anywhere in the mission, and there are people camped out everywhere), its always pretty exciting. San Franciscans love their street fairs and parades! Pretty much every weekend during the summer months there is a festival of some sort in some neighborhood celebrating something.  Is pretty amazing really.

 

“The Festival draws hundreds of thousands of people for two days of dancing Salsa, Samba, Reggae, Tango, Hip- Hop, Merengue, Calypso, Cha Cha Cha, Cumbia, and Mambo into the evening. Food vendors offer traditional delicacies, while others sell crafts native to the Carnaval countries of their heritage.”
