Free up your spirit!Caribbean carnival traditions,rooted in ancient African rituals and craftsmanship, are a vital, ever-evolving mosaic of dance, music, theater, and elaborate costuming. They reflect the complex social, political, and economic history of the Caribbean Basin, while at the same time giving rise to new forms of cultural expression. Wherever Caribbean festivals take place, you find a universe in motion where high-spirited masqueraders, fueled by infectious rhythms, perform a joyful ritual of song and dance. Huge costumes and legendary folklore characters dance dramatically through the crowds. |
| Carnival
Unites the World
Throughout the African Diaspora, we find carnival traditions that blend ancient masking rituals with a host of other cultural traditions. Today, carnival around the world takes on many different forms. All these festivals allow the revelers to abandon their worries and celebrate the human spirit. At the same time, individuals from all walks of life are enable to come together to laugh, sing, dance, and celebrate with each other! Carnaval San Francisco is no exception! Four miles of wondrous costumes and floats, with masqueraders, dancers, and musicians from all over the world join together to celebrate artistic expression through the spirit of carnival! Why
not take the leap and experience the incredible excitement
