The lively event is expected to draw between 500-1,000 people each day and will feature carnival games and rides, including a Ferris wheel,100-foot super slide, fun house, spinning teacups and more. Guests can indulge in classic fair treats including hand-dipped corn dogs, Hawaiian shave ice, funnel cakes, popcorn, cotton candy, caramel apples and French fries.
"Bringing a carnival to Civic Center is one of many ways we are creating joy and celebrating in the heart of our City," said Mayor Breed. "Creating vibrant, lively public spaces with activities people of all ages can enjoy is how we create stronger, safer communities. There is much more to come, and I'm excited see this area continue to blossom."
Admission to Civic Center Carnival requires a $10 minimum purchase toward games, rides or food for each person over 12. The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department will distribute a limited number of complimentary passes to nonprofits serving youth in its Equity Zones, including the Tenderloin and South of Market neighborhoods.
"The Civic Center area isn't just a hub for cultural activities or city government, it is home to families who want to celebrate summer with healthy activities and fun right in their neighborhood," said Supervisor Dean Preston. "I believe in activating our streets and plazas for activities that draw visitors and make life more enjoyable for residents, particularly kids, and I'm excited for this activation."
"We are thrilled to roll Civic Center Carnival into the heart of the City," said San Francisco Recreation and Park Department General Manager Phil Ginsburg. "In our experience, the most effective way to make our public spaces healthier and more vibrant is to make them fun."
Adding to the excitement, the Carnival's opening day coincides with the opening of the Asian Art Museum's East West Terrace, a 7,500-square-foot outdoor venue that will be a destination for contemporary sculpture and events.
"With the opening of our new East West Bank Art Terrace on the evening of August 24--the same day that the carnival begins--the Asian Art Museum will be sharing great art from local artists both indoors and out, making this a festival for everyone, whatever they love. That's something we can all celebrate." - Jay Xu, the Barbara Bass Bakar Director and CEO of the Asian Art Museum.
