A Cultural Explosion Awaits at the 51st Annual Nihonmachi Street Fair!
Nihonmachi Street Fair Designated as a SF Legacy Business
Last year the Nihonmachi Street Fair was officially designated as a San Francisco Legacy Business! This prestigious status recognizes our cultural significance and contributions to the Japantown community.
Grateful to the Small Business Commission and Historic Preservation Commission, the Office of Small Business’ Legacy Business Program (Richard Kurylo) and Nikki Yoshikawa for bestowing us this honor!
This makes the Nihonmachi Street Fair the first organization that produces a festival in our great City to receive this honor!
The Legacy Business program provides vital support to San Francisco’s historic institutions. With rent control and permitting assistance, we can focus on bringing the community together through exceptional cultural celebrations.
We appreciate the talented photographers – William Lee, David Toshiyuki, Sylvia Louie, Evan & Josh Wong, and Kats Kitagawa – who consistently capture the spirit of the Nihonmachi Street Fair. A special thanks to Evan & Josh of @giantsrocdaworld for their amazing videos that showcase what our Fair means to our communities.
@ExploringTheGiantWorld recap of last year’s 50th Annual Nihonmachi Street Fair!
Our mission:
To engage and develop young Asian Pacific American leaders through the development of building community that celebrates our culture and diversity.
As a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization (Tax ID: 94-3088515), the Nihonmachi Street Fair receives a grant from the San Francisco Grants for the Arts but must rely on income generated through advertising revenue, sponsorship and additional fundraising to underwrite fees, expenses, and logistical costs associated with producing this annual community celebration.
