We’re Baaaack!!!
Last year the Nihonmachi Street Fair was cancelled for the very first time in our history. It definitely was the right decision for the safety of our Fair attendees, participants, the many volunteers and our hard working Planning Committee.
With the full reopening of California and our great City, our Board and Committee agreed that it’s time to bring Street Fair back – and we’re not just talking about a weekend. We’re coming back stronger. Mark your calendars, save the date! We’ll see you in the heart of Jtown this summer!

COVID Vaccination & Testing!!
We are also very grateful to the San Francisco Department of Health COVID-19 Task Force who has helped in securing COVID Testing and COVID Mobile Vaccine Unit (Pfizer and J&J vaccines) to be part of the Fair. It is even more important that we encourage everyone to get tested and vaccinated so that we can all work towards fighting COVID together.
FREE COVID Testing (COVID-19 Molecular PCR Test) will be administered by Virus Geeks. No appointment is necessary. You can register by clicking here.
Our mission:
To engage and develop young Asian American leaders through the development of building community that celebrates our culture and diversity.
As a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization (Tax ID: 94-3088515), the Nihonmachi Street Fair receives a grant from the San Francisco Grants for the Arts but must rely on income generated through advertising revenue, sponsorship and additional fundraising to underwrite fees, expenses, and logistical costs associated with producing this annual community celebration.
