'MANY CULTURES - ONE SPIRIT'
For three decades, Carnaval San Francisco has been a much-cherished
occasion for many cultures to come together in one spirit: to share in
the exhilaration and creative expression, the abundance of beauty and
community, the sheer joy and good times that makes Carnaval San
Francisco such a rich experience and a spectacular sight to behold. This
spring will see a major cause for celebration, with Carnaval San
Francisco's 30th anniversary bash taking place in the Mission District
over Memorial Day weekend, May 24 and 25. |

The eyeballs are moving to the
internet and with regret the 2008 edition of the Carnaval San Francisco
will not be traditionally televised as in year's past on Channel 4 of
Telemundo [part of NBC] Thus Carnaval.com will be making a greater
commitment to round up the video you produce and put up on the internet |
| Video |
For the first time in many years the Carnaval will not be televised. Carnaval.com hopes you will thus make a special effort to get it on the internet. |

theatres often used to host Film festivals including San Francisco's finest

the 2-screen Roxie has just been renovated by
its New College owners. Also Carnaval SF
