This application is ONLY for comparsas and dance groups interested in performing on the Comparsa Stage on Saturday, May 25 or Sunday, May 26, 2024 on 21st Street between Harrison and Alabama Streets.
Definition of a comparsa:
A comparsa is an artistic, street theater performance group with its own theme, cast of dancers, musicians, other performers, with choreography, costumes, props, and floats. A comparsa creates a new theme for each annual Carnaval San Francisco. To express this theme a comparsa builds a new float, choreographs new dances, performs new music, and sews/buys new costumes. Comparsas must have at least 30 dance performers, not including volunteers. A community organization, local business, company, government agency, or political entity is not a comparsa.
Stage Dimensions: 20' x 20'
