Grab your finest feathered tail-piece, some timbales, and plastic beads, and get ready to shake your coconuts for Carnaval. The two-day street party features a nonstop lineup of the Bay Area's top Latin and Afro-Caribbean musical ensembles dishing out more soca, calypso, salsa, samba, hip-hop, and cumbia than your feet can possibly handle. Revelers in need of a recharge can hit this year's newest addition, Zona Verde, an eco-friendly chill space inspired by the traditions of first peoples worldwide. But don't get too comfy: Sunday's parade transforms Mission Street into a movable feast for the eyes, with enough rainbow colors and gyrating, bared flesh to give Pride a run for its money.
