The global spotlight will be on San Francisco for APEC, and Chinatown wants to showcase its culture and community to the world.
With a huge turnout on the first night of the Chinatown Night Market, they're off to a successful start. Many vendors ran out of food halfway into the festival, which featured 25 local food and drink vendors. Chinatown's famous lantern-lined street, Grant Avenue, turned even more vibrant and lively as thousands packed the open-air market on the eve of the APEC summit kickoff. The international event is expect to bring 20,000 people to the city.
Nonprofit BeChinatown founder Lily Lo wanted to wow visitors, including those who may be in town for APEC.'Chinatown lately been very slow, and I want them to come to enjoy, hopefully, people come to eat and shop because my idea is really to help the small business who struggle,' Lo said. KPIX spotted a busload of tourists who made a stop at the market and saw familiar faces, including one of San Francisco's most famous drag queens Sister Roma.
