About the San Diego Chinese New Year Food and Cultural Fair
2018 will be the 36th year for the San Diego Chinese New Year Food and Cultural Fair.
The Chinese Social Service Center was officially founded on June 6, 1972. The non-profit organization was financed by Ruby Tom and a $3 per year membership fee. In 1989 the Chinese Social Service Center changed its name to the San Diego Chinese Center (SDCC) to broaden the scope of its services.The SDCC is situated in the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association’s historical landmark building in the old Chinatown of San Diego (now known as the Asian Thematic District), adjacent to the CCBA’s low-income senior housing project.
In the past 42 years, the SDCC has strived to meet the needs of the Chinese community within San Diego and serve as a cultural bridge between the Chinese and non-Chinese communities. In addition to hosting the annual Chinese New Year Fair, SDCC functions as a non-profit multilingual, educational, cultural, and social service assistance agency. The following are a few of the programs and activities held and sponsored by the SDCC: English as a second language, job referrals, housing assistance programs, translation and interpretation, low cost family health insurance, forms assistance and recreational activities.
To pull off this truly special event, 2018’s fair is being sponsored by the Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association of San Diego, with the help of The San Diego Chinese Historical Museum and the San Diego Chinese Center. The fair will be coordinated by Silk Road Productions, known for the Asian Cultural Festival and other large festivals and events.
