Chinatown’s “Joy on Joice Street Fair” 2023 AAPI Art, Crafts, Community (SF)

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The Joy on Joice Street Fair, hosted by the Chinese Historical Society of America Museum (CHSA), Cameron House, and Cut Fruit Collective looks to uplift Bay Area Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) creativity, community, and joy. With the many challenges facing San Francisco Chinatown and AAPI communities across the Bay, we look to all of our collective creative energies and participation to bring us together. Join us as we hold space for reconnecting and building solidarity across generations and communities.

During the first weekend of Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, enjoy a day filled with AAPI makers, artists, performers, community organizations, and more.

The street fair will take place on Joice Street in San Francisco Chinatown, between Sacramento Street and Clay Street.

Admission is free. More details to come.
