Pipoca @ Carnaval SF 2026

On Sunday morning, you’ll meet us in the Mission District, connect with the group, take photos and videos, and get ready to parade together.

We’ll march from 24th Street to 15th Street along Mission Street, following samba dancers and a live samba band. Expect music, dancing, and lots of moments to wave to the crowd and pose for cameras.

Your ticket includes an exclusive T-shirt. In Brazil, we call it an “abadá” — it’s your pass to be part of the group.
