For more than three decades, San Franciscans have been treated to a colorful display of culture in the form of dance, music, and attire directly from countries in Central and South America at the annual Carnaval Parade.
This year did not disappoint: thousands watched 62 parade floats passing through the Mission District Sunday morning in a delightful display of community and ethnic pride.
