Mission
District San Francisco
Location: 16th and Dolores St., San Francisco
The heart of San Francisco's predominantly Hispanic neighborhood is 24th Street,
a colorful collection of restaurants, taquerias, Mexican bakeries, fresh produce
markets and specialty shops. Mission Dolores at 16th and Dolores Streets is the
oldest structure in San Francisco. Many of The City's pioneers are buried in an
adjacent cemetery. The largest concentration of murals in The City, each reflecting
the pleasures, passions and pitfalls of their respective creators, adorn buildings,
fences and garage walls throughout the neighborhood. May is an especially high-spirited
month in the Mission District. That's when San Francisco celebrates Cinco de Mayo
and Carnaval, each culminating with exciting parades. Carnaval is considered The
City's version of Mardi Gras.
