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 || TOP|| |
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. |

Parade Line-UP 2008 in fotos & video @ flickr.com Artist Stipends were an important part of the Carnaval from 2002 to 2008 beginning when parade producer Mission Neighborhood Centers [MNC] took over management in 2002. Awarding over $80,000/year in grants of $500 to $2000 to 2/3 of the 70+ groups scheduled to appear in the Grand Parade has been instrumental in building up many children and youth programs as well as assuring floats and sound systems meet a high standard. With the carry forward deficit from 2008 these have been eliminated in 2009. Games
Festival was 50 years
in 2007). Along 16th St. - the Bay Area's oldest street- are 3 old
theatres often used to host Film festivals including San Francisco's finest
-the Castro. The Victoria
Theatre is celebrating its 100th year in 2007 and
the 2-screen Roxie has just been renovated by
its New College owners. Also Carnaval SF
groups participate in the keynote celebration of
National Dance Week. No event owns May Day
here but around the world it is associated with May Queens,
International worker's day and the
decriminalization of the miracle weed best known as marijuana
Three of San Francisco's best arts festivals choose May and feature Mission venues. Mission Creek, Artsfest and International Arts Festival In 2007, while Precita Eyes went low key on their Mural Month, the 2nd weekend which is best known nationally as mother's day and locally for KFOG's Kaboom Fireworks show, the Mission added MissionArts Open Studio May Weekend 3 is anchored by the wild wacky Bay to Breakers race which, as a huge costume parade and wild party atmosphere could also call itself a Carnaval. |
