Carnaval San Francisco is THIS WEEKEND and the Mission is about to come alive 🎶🪇🎭
📍 WHERE The festival spans 17 blocks on Harrison Street between 16th & 24th. The Grand Parade starts at 24th & Bryant, heads west to Mission Street, travels north on Mission to 15th, and turns east to end at South Van Ness.
🚗 ROAD CLOSURES & PARKING — READ THIS This is the big one. Driving into the Mission this weekend will be very difficult.
→ Harrison St (16th to 24th), Treat St (16th to 18th), and Mistral St (between Harrison & Treat) will have NO PARKING starting Friday 5/22 at 4:00 PM through Monday 5/25 at 2:00 AM. Cars will be towed starting Friday at 7 PM.
→ On Sunday for the parade, Mission St (15th to 24th), 24th St (York to Mission), Bryant St (17th to Cesar Chavez), 15th St (Mission to Alabama), and surrounding streets will be closed from 9 AM to ~4 PM.
→ Parking is extremely limited. If you drive, look for spots west of Valencia or south of Cesar Chavez and walk in. Garages near 16th St BART may have availability early in the day. Honestly, don’t drive if you can avoid it.
🧁 AND WHILE YOU’RE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD... Kahnfections is just steps away at 3321 20th Street — right in the heart of it all. Start your morning with a biscuit sandwich and coffee before the festival opens, or stop by for a pastry break between sets. We’ll be open both days and ready to fuel your Carnaval weekend.
Save this post. Share it with your crew. See you in the Mission 💛
