The original 1911 Hayes Valley Carnival was a celebration and reminder of the vibrancy and tenacity of the city post the destruction of the 1906 earthquake and resulting fires.  In much the same way, this years return is a recognition of the neighborhood after two years of the pandemic – reinvigorating residents, businesses and the city at large with a celebration and bringing together of community.
