Things to Do in Chinatown This Weekend

What is on in Chinatown this weekend, what is on nearby, and the places worth a visit, from our checked calendar and directory.

October 23–25 · 1 event in Chinatown on our calendar, and 2 more nearby. This page updates itself as the weekend changes.

San Francisco's Chinatown is the oldest in North America, established in the 1840s and rebuilt after 1906 in a deliberately ornamental style that was partly a survival strategy: make it a destination and the city cannot push the community out. Our Chinatown guide.
