I try to go every year, but my track record only shows me attending every other or so, with my last time being two years ago.

I was a tad late this time, and traffic got me a bit of troubles into finding a parking spot, but all in all I was able to see a lot of the so many groups and organizations parading on Market street and around the San Francisco Civic Center Square. And everyone gets involved, showcasing their costumes and make up.
