San Francisco’s Chinatown is the oldest Chinatown in North America, and hosts the largest Chinese community outside of Asia. As your guide to the densest neighborhood in San Francisco, our knowledgeable docents will navigate and lead tour participants through street mazes to discover the many sides of Chinatown.
Saturday tours are between:
a) The Tale of Two Chinatowns focuses on the daily life, history and culture of Chinatown throughout the years. Highlights include the fresh food markets, old telephone exchange, the oldest Buddhist temple in San Francisco, the site of the first American flag in California, and the “outdoor living room” of Chinatown.
b) From Dynasty to Democracy combines the color of Chinatown with the inspiring history of the community’s struggle against discrimination starting in the 1800’s, and how that struggle shaped America’s understanding of human rights and the Constitution. This tour specifically addressesCalifornia Dept of Education Social Science and History Standards for grades 4 through 12(View the addressed standards below). It’s also great for the visitor who is looking for a more unique introduction to Chinatown. Highlights include the Goddess of Democracy, the doors to nowhere, family associations, the bank in a “temple”, the beautiful Chinatown 6 Companies, and Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hall.

Trying to start a fashion business, but just don't have the money to manufacture your clothing line? Think crowdfunding might be the answer for you, but not sure how to get started? Join us for a panel of entrepreneurs and an Indiegogo rep as they discuss the “do’s” and “don’ts” of running a successful crowdfunding campaign.
Crowdfunding allows you to campaign for smaller donations of money, leveraging friends, family and even people you don't know, in order to help bring your dream into reality.
In this session, you'll hear from a representative of a crowdfunding platform (Indiegogo), as well as from fashion designers who have raised money through crowdfunding campaigns on both Kickstarter and Indiegogo. They will share the ups and downs of running a campaign, the intensity of the campaign process, what they did right, what they would do differently, what happens after the campaign ends, and more.
Our designer panelists’ work represents a broad cross-section of the fashion industry from T-shirts (Thread Council) to denim (Sonas) to play dresses for moms (Sonnett James) to bespoke suits (Artful Gentleman).
