The San Francisco Carnaval is an annual weekend celebration of community, culture, and homeland. It brings together the entire Mission District in a flurry of colour, dance, and music.

​

During my year abroad, I was lucky enough to find myself in San Francisco and attended the 2016 San Francisco Carnaval. The theme was "Viva La Madre Tierra" (Long Live Mother Earth).
