In preparation for San Francisco’s Annual Carnaval in the Mission district, Fogo Na Roupa Grupo Carnavalesco will be practicing with their award-winning contingent on Sunday, May 11 and Sunday, May 18 in the Presidio.  

Come see the Grand Prize Winners of the 2023 Grand Parade and hear the blazing sounds of the “Bateria” – the drum ensemble consisting of traditional Brazilian parade drums – and enjoy being mesmerized by the movements of the dancers who’ll showcase their new choreography.  

Foga Na Roupa will start at the intersection of Sal Street and Keyes Avenue. Keyes Avenue, Canby Street, and Pena Street will be closed and Mesa Street will experience intermittent closures throughout the day. See the map below for the route.  

The public is invited to come by and enjoy the free performances.
