This vibrant two-day Asian American and Pacific Islanders celebration is held annually in San Francisco’s Japantown. Among its many events are arts and crafts, children’s activities, and a food bazaar. The popular festival is particularly well known as a venue for contemporary bands and ethnic and performing arts groups. From jazz to hip hop, from reggae to rock, catch one of the best free shows in town. This year’s line-up will be announced here as soon as it becomes available.

The Fair also is an important outreach tool serving the Asian American and Pacific Islander communities by providing valuable information about AIDS, senior care, children and youth programs, newcomer services, and more. And it continues to be a platform where Asian American and Pacific Islander community nonprofit organizations can build awareness and raise much needed funds.

Everyone is invited and Festival admission is free. Mark your calendar…and bring your friends and family!
