This is a celebration of the different cultures and countries that make up the Mission and San Francisco. It's a time to dance, meet new people, and kick off the Carnaval season.
Tonight was just one big party, and honestly, it felt like family. Especially during crazy times like now, it's important to come together, share culture, and celebrate with love.
Carnaval is a place where we honor our roots and keep our culture alive. My body's in San Jose, but my heart? My heart is here.
The beats of cumbia, samba, and rumba reminded everyone why Carnaval is more than a festival-it's a tradition that unites and uplifts.
