I can’t believe it’s been 1 year since we held the 1st ever Chinatown Car Weekend which brought 1000’s of visitors to help revitalize Chinatown San Francisco. It’s 2022 and our job isn’t done and it’s time for the Chinatown Car Weekend again. This year I am proud to be working with the non-profits in Chinatown San Franciso of BeChinatown, American Chinese Herb Trade Association, and the Chinatown History & Culture Association. Our goal will be to raise $100,000 to help people and businesses in need while pumping back $500,000 into the community from visitors during Chinatown Car Weekend. Chinatown San Francisco is one of the poorest communities in the San Francisco/ Silicon Bay Area. We want to use this event to help local Bay Area Communities “Rediscover Chinatown”. Chinatown needs NEW foot traffic and this event will bring 1000’s of people back to Chinatown to help local merchants and it’s citizens. Registration for the car show will be $100 per car. Participation in the car show will be limited to 150 cars (75 cars per day).

Since Covid started to emerge itself in 2020 Chinatown SF was hammered by a string of events. First tourism and visitors plummeted by over 80% as people stayed away because they thought they would contract Covid by being near Chinese Americans. This was especially disheartening as in the Bay Area we tend to view ourselves as inclusive and most would not argue that within 50 miles of San Francisco is the most educated population in the United States. Unfortunately, that education didn’t prevent people from staying away due to unfounded and false fear Chinese Americans would spread Covid-19 to them. This was a MAJOR problem as Chinatown SF depends on over 50% of it’s revenue from outside visitors such as tourist. Then the next blow happened… the state of CA locked down the entire state for months decimating small businesses which depended on daily revenues to stay alive. Then came the social justice protest and riots which destroyed and looted Chinatown businesses which made a bad situation that much worse. And to make things even worse crimes against Asian/ Chinese Americans EXPLODED in the Bay Area where we’re at… especially against the elderly and women. The violence against the Asian community created MORE fear for visitors going to Chinatown and San Francisco which keep many people away.
