AAPI Heritage Festival in SF’s Chinatown (2024)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The AAPI Heritage Festival will consist of live performances, ranging from song and dance to martial arts, as well as various vendors and artists from the AAPI community that are excited to share what their cultures mean to them. There will also be cultural activities and games for all to participate and enjoy. Sponsored and hosted by the Chinatown Volunteer Coalition (CVC), this festival following the end of AAPI Heritage Month is dedicated to celebrating the diversity of Asian and Pacific cultures.

This event takes place in Chinatown which serves as a hub for many Asian communities in the Bay Area. The area surrounding modern-day Chinatown was populated with people from other Asian countries, which has been unfortunately taken over by developers or have faced other socio-economic hardships. However, it is important to note that Chinatown has always been a place that was built upon diverse Asian heritage.

Chinatown has never been a place for solely those of Chinese descent, but a welcoming place for all individuals from Asia. By having Chinatown be the site of this celebratory event, we hope to help share each of our cultures and highlight that so many other cultures and heritages call Chinatown home.
