COME ENJOY the LARGEST OUTDOOR ECO-GREEN
VILLAGE in the CITY at the CARNAVAL FESTIVAL
Saturday May 24th and Saturday May 25th |
|
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.
Once again as spring ends and summer begins
with Memorial Day weekend we can all look
ahead to brighter days on our shared planet
by taking positive steps to leave a lighter
footprint for those who follow. Just another
reason to celebrate!
|
This year CARNAVAL SAN FRANCISCO is proud to
introduce ZONA VERDE – a fun educational
space to enrich body, mind, and soul. ZONA VERDE is
dedicated to celebrating our union with Mother Earth
and the rich harmonic traditions laid down by the
native people of the original Americas and native
traditions globally. One World many cultures come
together in this sacred space of learning methods of
healing ourselves and the planet. This ECO friendly
zone will spread over one square city block (60,000
sq feet) making it the largest outdoor green event
in the city’s history. Here homage is paid to
protecting our sacred planet and the wisdom of the
people that came before us.
Healing ceremonies; dance; renewable energy; earth
friendly products; bodywork; organic food specialty
items; and a celebration of the power of wind, sun,
water, and air will be brought together at Carnaval
San Francisco’s ZONA VERDE. We are committed to
bringing attention to pressing environmental issues
in a friendly celebratory manner that reflects the
spirit of Carnaval San Francisco.
As we take to the streets in global celebration we
encourage the consciousness of our interconnection
that has been the defining message of Carnaval San
Francisco for 30 years. Respect for our shared
existence will blossom through this year’s CARNAVAL
a la ZONA VERDE as children and adults alike learn
ways to protect, love, and restore the planet and
protect its people. We are committed to promoting
peace and a sustainable future for generations to
come.
