For those of us who are staying local for Memorial Day Weekend... THERE IS CARNIVAL 2009!Carnaval is a spring ritual that celebrates life. With something for everyone who loves Latin American and Caribbean cultures, Carnaval San Francisco 2009 is California's largest multi-cultural celebration, and one of San Francisco's most popular and cherished traditions. Carnaval San Francisco 2009 showcases the very best of Latin American and Caribbean cultures with a dynamic array of food, music, drumming, dancing, live music, and artistry, including works created by the talented community of Mission District residents and Bay Area artists.
The world famous Carnaval San Francisco Grand Parade is on Sunday, May 24 starts 9:30 a.m. at the corner of 24th and Bryant streets where it will proceed west to Mission Street. From there, the parade heads north on Mission down to 17th Street, where it will turn east and flow into the festival area. Carnaval San Francisco's Grand Parade is a unique multi-cultural event that celebrates the traditions of many countries and cultures around the world. The floats are spectacular, the music and costumes lavish and varied.
I suggest stopping by Medjo0l Restaurant on 2522 Mission Street around 10:00 AM where you can have a VIP service, great food and drinks plus a great view of the whole event from the fantastic and unique roof.
Enjoy!!
