Bayview is gearing up for another unforgettable celebration as Gumbo Social prepares to host its Bayview Mardi Gras Celebration 2026—a festive, family-friendly event that brings the spirit of New Orleans’ second-line traditions right onto Third Street in San Francisco’s historic neighborhood.
Set for Tuesday, February 17, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., this free celebration invites neighbors, families, and visitors of all ages to experience Mardi Gras with live music, food, dancing, and community pride. The event takes place in the parking lot next to Gumbo Social at 5176 3rd Street, turning the block into an outdoor party reminiscent of Bayou culture and Bayview’s vibrancy.
Central to the celebration will be The Gumbo Band, whose rhythms and horns help keep the energy rising throughout the afternoon. Expect spirited live music, dancing in the street, and moments where the Bayview spirit shines brightest—where culture, creativity, and community come together in one lively setting.
