Carnaval San Francisco (CSF), a project of Mission Neighborhood Centers, is a celebration of multicultural music, dance and artistry with an emphasis on showcasing Latin American and Caribbean culture and the talents of the Mission District residents. Carnaval San Francisco is already the largest multicultural festival in California. Through its multi-ethnic charm, it draws over 250,000 people a year. CSF operates with a part time staff, independent contractors and upwards of 400 volunteers. If you want to show your support for Carnaval San Francisco and your community, now is the time to stand up and be counted.
