Nihonmachi Street Fair
The Nihonmachi Street Fair considers itself the original “melting pot” of street fairs, with many aspects of Asian-Pacific American life—and San Francisco’s cultural life—expressed through performance, tradition, art, music, food, and community outreach and service. Over 30,000 festival attendees have made their way to the fair in past years.
Expect Hawaiian and Japanese music & dance, a dog show on August 2nd, car show, a food fair and more.
