SF Carnaval Festival 2025 [2 days]
This year’s theme is ‘Afro-Mundo’, and there are 2 headliner’s for the 2025 Carnaval Festival. See both videos at the bottom.
Carnaval San Francisco is a 2 day FESTIVAL on May 24th & May 25th, held on Harrison Street between 16th and 20th streets in SF.
Wampi is coming directly from Cuba. He’s a 21-year-old trailblazer within this genre called reparto. It’s a genre that’s been around maybe 20 years or so, but it’s finally picked up steam outside of Cuba. It’s a mixture of timba, like Cuban salsa, reggaeton and hip hop. This is his first time in the United States, his first time in San Francisco, and he’s headlining this event.
Mexican Institute of Sound. The brainchild of Camilo Lara, creates irresistible beats for the global dance floor. At home in Mexico City, Sao Paulo, Lagos, Mumbai, or New York, Camilo’s music can be heard in any of the new capitals of world culture. His live shows can only be described as punk performances that bring down the house every single time. See flyer below.
