This Free Block Party In Chinatown Is Celebrating The Lunar New Year And Big Game With Live Music, Lion Dancing, And More

Chinatown is a bustling cultural center in San Francisco that frequently hosts popular events, including parades, night markets, and exciting street parties. This week, the neighborhood is hosting a special block party with the Bay Area Host Committee, which is organizing events across the city, including concerts and fan events, in preparation for the Super Bowl. The Big Game Block Party will celebrate both the Lunar New Year and the upcoming Super Bowl, and you can check it out on Wednesday, February 4, from 5 to 9 pm on Grant Avenue. Party attendees can expect festive lion dancing and live music during the party. DJ E-Rock will perform along with Ylona Garcia and the iconic Grant Avenue Follies. To close the party, rapper Rudy Ibarra will perform. You can try food from local vendors, including Dim Sum Bistro, Wong Lee Bakery, and Sweet Pop. You can find an array of food, desserts, and teas. For the foodies, prominent AAPI chefs Brandon Jew and Francis Ang will be featured on a panel. You can also expect several professional athletes in attendance, including Olympic skater Kristi Yamaguchi and 49ers player Jesse Sapolu. The block party is produced by BeChinatown, which has organized the popular night markets that draw thousands to the neighborhood. The Big Game Block Party is just one of the many events happening before the Super Bowl, including a fan event at Moscone Center, and numerous major concerts. If you’re looking for more free events, we recommend checking out Downtown First Thursdays on February 5, which is another free block party with live music, a discoteca, games, and plenty more. The block party is free to attend, and we recommend taking public transit as large crowds are expected. You can learn more about the event here.
