Cruise on up To Carnaval San Francisco On Caltrain

Let Caltrain help you avoid traffic and parking hassles for the 28th annual Carnaval celebration in the City’s Mission District. This two-day festival takes place Saturday, May 26 and Sunday, May 27, from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.

Carnaval takes place on Harrison Street, between 16th and 24th streets, featuring food, Latin music and dance, arts and crafts and other activities. On Sunday, the Carnaval Grand Parade starts at 9:30 a.m. at the corner of 24th and Bryant streets, where it will proceed west to Mission Street. From there, the parade heads north on Mission down to 17th Street, where it will turn east and flow into the festival area.

Caltrain riders can get off at the Millbrae Intermodal Station and transfer to BART, which will take them to the 24th Street station, just a block from the festival site.
