Cinco de Mayo Soccer Fest in San Francisco

Celebrate Cinco de Mayo in San Francisco with the “Cinco de Mayo Soccer Fest.” If your travel plans take you to San Francisco this Cinco de Mayo and you LOVE soccer, this celebration is a great combination of fun and “Futbol.” The California Victory, the new United Soccer League’s Division One team in San Francisco, takes on Necaxa 1A, a professional soccer team from Aguas Caliente, Mexico during the festival. The festivities are at Kezar Stadium between 11 a.m and 5 p.m. with the game starting at 2 p.m.

Kezar Stadium is the very stadium where the San Francisco 49’ers and the Oakland Raiders got their start. It is located at 755 Stanyan Street in the Southeastern corner of Golden Gate Park. This will be the Victory’s first game at Kezar Stadium.

Pre-game, you can enjoy mariachi music, Aztec dancers, baile folkloric, captivating drum beats, tantalizing canto de ninos, enchanting cha cha and magnificent descarga. Tickets are $12 for adults. This is a non-profit, family event. You can get tickets at californiavictorysoccer.com or call (415) 593-1491.

Even if it isn’t your thing, this could be a fun (and inexpensive) gift for your Bay Area clients…
