San Francisco’s Carnaval celebration was initiated in Precita Park 32 years ago by its multicultural and multiethnic founders who dearly missed traditional Carnaval celebrations in their home countries. Musicians, dancers, artists, and a host of residents continue to assemble in San Francisco’s Mission District to weave a rich, fantastical, day-long tapestry that must be one of America’s most colorful and joyful parades.
Carnaval 2010! San Francisco is another journal in a series by photographer Michael Morrissey. Join his odyssey through the lens into the heart of special times, places, and those who inhabit them.
