Arriving in San Francisco this past weekend, folks were greeted with barricades and colorful streamers lining Mission Street. Overhead, the large banner from the San Francisco Lowrider Council announced its annual free event, King of the Streets Hop & Lowrider Parade. Starting from 20th and Mission streets, the area was packed with old school cars of all kinds, from Buicks to Impalas; every vehicle was decked out to the max. Each owner stood proudly next to their cars or checked out the others on display. Visitors enjoyed themselves, with people posing next to cars, taking selfies and even hopping in cars for a quick photo shoot.

By noon, there was a crowd of people walking around the already stationed vehicles, starting from 20th Street down to 26th Street. The parade was set up behind Capp Street, with people in their cars patiently waiting or conversing with others around them about the sweet rides they decided to bring out. When the clock struck 1 p.m., two lanes of lowriders began to cruise between 20th and 26th streets, blasting old school hip-hop and rap. People lined the streets with their phones out, recording their favorite vehicle of the afternoon or dancing to the music with a beverage in hand.

The parade lasted for about two hours, but that wasn’t the only thing the council planned for the day. From 4-6 p.m., a competition for the highest hydraulic jumping was streamed live on CBS News. Cars selected from California cities competed for the highest jumps. All generations were free to compete in the event, with some as young as 18. With shining cars still lining the streets and even small concerts and competitions, the whole bay came out to see a tradition going strong as ever.
