Nihonmachi Street Fair 2024

San Francisco has a must-see Chinatown known around the world, but did you know about Japantown? The neighborhood is home to the Nihonmachi Street Fair, an annual block party at Peace Plaza. Just look for the towering pagoda to identify the park. The weekend fair comes alive with dragon dancing, sushi, traditional street food, delicious drinks and a moment to recognize and honor the victims of the atomic bombs dropped on Japan during World War II. For the most part, however, this is a festive affair. Bring your pet and enjoy the live music, weather and atmosphere.
