Carnaval San Francisco
Each year in celebration of Ethnic diversity the Mission District of San Francisco puts on an extravaganza nothing short of a huge street party. There are dancers, floats, music, fantastic food etc… It takes place over Memorial Day weekend and draws hundreds of thousands of people. The above video was shot during last year’s parade. I will have much more in the months to come. Enjoy!!!

Wow, I remember when I was younger, I also joined in a sort of street dance in our local fesitival in my hometown in the Philippines, we call it Masskara Festival.
Thanks for sharing this festivity Jodapoet. By the way, I linked your My City By the Bay blog in my San Francisco post.
