If your ideal Thursday night includes music, culture, dancing, and a little friendly soccer rivalry, NightLife x Carnaval SF deserves a spot on your calendar. Returning for its third year at California Academy of Sciences, this year’s Fiesta y Fútbol theme brings together the energy of Carnaval with the excitement of the global game. Guests can explore live performances, interactive activities, and a vibrant pop-up mercado celebrating Latin American, Caribbean, and Afrodiasporic cultures, all inside one of San Francisco’s most iconic museums.

It’s the kind of event that perfectly captures what makes the Bay Area feel so connected and creative. Whether you’re there for the music, the dancing, or simply a fun night out with friends, NightLife x Carnaval SF offers an experience that feels equal parts celebration and community gathering.
