May Secret Activities! Hush Hush!

Sharing is caring!

Hello EC San Francisco!

Before we tell you our secrets in May, we want to tell you that our May Calendar is out. Go to the front desk heroes and ask for your copy! May is FULL of fun activities.

Now let us tell you about some off-calendar events that you and your friends can explore:

 

1. SF Cinco de Mayo Festival:

Cinco de May is an annual celebration of the Mexican Army’s victory over the French in the Battle of Puebla. Every year, San Francisco celebrates the day on the weekend of the 5th. “The 2019 SF Cinco de Mayo Festival will take place on Saturday 10 A.M – 6 P.M., May 4th, 2019, occupying Valencia Street between 21st and 24th Streets.” Check their website. 

 

2. How Weird Street Faire:

A one day event, in the heart of San Francisco! It is an annual event for art, music, performances and everything WEIRD! They’re holding their 20th annual event this year on May 5th. The fair starts at 12:00PM to 8:00PM. “This year, the four main entrances to the faire are at Howard and 1st Streets, at Howard and New Montgomery Streets, Folsom and 2nd Streets, and at Mission and 2nd Streets” For more information, click here.

 

3. The Great San Francisco Sidewalk Sale:

San Francisco loves its small business and local merchants! So, every year the city collaborates with these local businesses and encourage people to go out and shop! On May 11, “Small businesses will offer a variety of sales, tastes and entertainment” for free!

 

4. Carnaval San Francisco

On Feb of 1979, performers, dancers and other fun people decided to start parading in uniforms and costumes. They drummed their way dancing and parading. They decided they will be the first San Francisco Carnaval. Ever since, the city has celebrated it annually. “The 2–day festival will be held May 25th and May 26th on Harrison Street between 16th and 24th Streets”. You will experience international cuisine, beer and international art performances. Check the website for more information.

 

That’s all for now, but we assure you we’ll come up with more. Keep an eye on our facebook and instagram pages, or talk to Anna or Amanda.
