Fiesta on the Hill

The Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center invites you to be part of one of the City's premier street festivals, Fiesta on the Hill. This year's Fiesta, the 21st annual, will take place on Sunday, October 18th, on Cortland Avenue.

Fiesta celebrates the diversity that is part of the rich fabric of Bernal Heights and its surrounding neighborhoods. Every year 15,000 people from Bernal Heights, the Mission, the Excelsior and from all over the Bay Area come to enjoy this family friendly, alcohol-free festival featuring activities and entertainment for all ages including a pumpkin patch, pony rides, petting zoo and the ever popular dunk tank. The music is top notch featuring in past years such as stars as SambaDa (2008), Sila and the Afrofunk Experience (2007), and Salvador Santana (2006) making Fiesta a regional draw.
