The eastern section of the celebrated Mission District, the Inner Mission is bordered by U.S. 101 to the north, Cesar Chavez Street to the south, Potrero Hill to the east, and Valencia Street to the west. Once a predominant Latino neighborhood, the Inner Mission today serves as a bastion for artists and hipsters, as well as the hub for the city?s Chicano and Latino communities. Known for its wealth of Mexican, Peruvian, Salvadorian, and other Latin American restaurants, the neighborhood is also home to many artistic and cultural institutions, including the art space Mission Cultural Center for the Latino Arts, the long established bilingual newspaper El Tecolote, and the nationally recognized arts organization Galer?a de la Raza. Colorful Latin American-themed murals are among the neighborhood?s distinct characteristics, as is ?Carnaval,? the annual festival and parade along Mission Street (held every May, usually around Memorial Day weekend). Like its neighboring districts Noe Valley and Bernal Heights, the Inner Mission tends to be isolated from the westerly fog and wind, making its climate among the warmest in the City.
