During Big Game Week, the Chinatown Lunar New Year Block Party transforms historic Grant Avenue into a high-energy cultural celebration in the heart of San Francisco Chinatown.

Produced by the team behind the nationally acclaimed BeChinatown Night Market, this large-scale community event brings together local small businesses, cultural performances, music, and immersive programming that bring Chinatown’s streets to life. As visitors from around the world arrive in the Bay Area, Chinatown becomes a focal point for food, culture, and community-driven storytelling.

The event builds on a proven platform that regularly draws tens of thousands of attendees and has been recognized by USA Todayas the Best Night Market in the country. Guests can expect a dynamic street festival atmosphere featuring local merchants, live performances, and on-stage programming that celebrates Lunar New Year traditions alongside contemporary AAPI culture.

With national and international media in town during this week, the Chinatown Lunar New Year Block Party offers a rare opportunity to spotlight one of San Francisco’s most iconic neighborhoods while delivering an authentic, community-led experience for residents and visitors alike.

Additional programming details and featured participants will be announced at a later date.
