Why: Music heals and brings people together for good. Artists in San Francisco’s beloved Mission District gave birth to Carnaval in 1978 with the belief that their passion for Latin, Caribbean and Afro-Diasporic music would unite people across ethnicities, nationalities, sexual orientation, gender identification or religious beliefs. Using the symbol of the classic “45 Vinyl Record,” Carnaval San Francisco pays homage to the artists that have shaped its multicultural and multi-generational cultural expression.
For 45 years Carnaval has featured world-class artists such as Santana, Tower of Power, Celia Cruz, Oscar de Leon, Los Lonely Boys, Tito Puente, John Santos, Olodum, and Los Tigres del Norte. Carnaval is proud that such high caliber performances are provided to the community, free-of-charge and open to all ages.
Tuesday’s event encapsulates the kickoff to the Carnaval ethos of cultivating and celebrating multicultural traditions through music, dance and culture in San Francisco’s historic Mission District generation after generation.
