SF’s 2026 “Zodiac Wall” Art Installation in Chinatown (Jan. 24-25)

2026 Chinatown Zodiac Wall Installation— Year of the Horse: A Celebration of Success & Achievement

The beloved Zodiac Wall of San Francisco Chinatown returns for its 11th year, honoring the Year of the Horse with a powerful new theme: Being Successful, Becoming Successful, and Celebrating Achievement.

This annual installation has become an icon of Chinatown—a vibrant, meaningful landmark and one of the city’s must‑visit attractions. Visitors from around the world stop to admire it, take photos, and participate in a tradition rooted in hope, culture, and community.

A Tradition That Grew Into a Community Legacy

  • The very first Zodiac Wall began in 2016, created by the Law family as a heartfelt gift to Chinatown.
  • Three years ago, this project blossomed into a community‑driven effort, supported by volunteers, families, and neighbors who come together to build something beautiful each year.
  • Every year, the wall transforms with a new theme inspired by the zodiac animal, making each installation unique and meaningful.

❤️ A Community Invitation

We warmly welcome volunteers of all ages to join us in creating and installing the 2026 Zodiac Wall. Bring your friends, your family, your children—this is a chance to be part of something joyful, cultural, and lasting.

✉️ Write Your Good Luck Message

One of the most cherished traditions of the Zodiac Wall is the red envelope blessing:

  • You’ll have the opportunity to write your own good luck message.
  • Place it inside a red envelope.
  • Add it to the wall as part of the installation.

Writing a message of positivity and intention is believed to bring good fortune, and many visitors return each year to see their wishes displayed among thousands of others. May your hopes for success and achievement in the Year of the Horse come true.

🧧 Join Us

Come be part of this living piece of Chinatown culture. Come celebrate success, community, and the spirit of the Horse. Come create memories with your loved ones.

We look forward to building the 2026 Zodiac Wall with you.
