Safety at Carnivale
We are prioritizing safety and celebration in the cathedral's 1.5 million cubic feet by limiting in person capacity, maximizing air flow and more.
Stay in the know! Grace Cathedral's party plans prioritize the health and safety of our guests at Carnivale. We will continue to monitor COVID-19 in San Francisco and surrounding counties to ensure we are following local and state guidelines as well as the Diocese of California. We will adapt our safety protocols and event party plan as needed. Safety updates will be communicated to the guests and may be viewed by clicking through the below link.
