During the coronavirus crisis, Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood experienced the loss of businesses firsthand. Although restaurants have reopened, the neighborhood is still slow in recovery. In response, BCNC and Pao Arts Center are hosting the Experience Chinatown arts festival, which has become a month-long event for uplifting Boston’s Chinatown neighborhood while ensuring health and safety for all.

Throughout September, visitors can enjoy unique events on Thursdays and Saturdays and pop-up happenings through virtual and physical platforms, allowing for social distancing and leisurely enjoyment. This event is a part of the We Love Boston Chinatown resiliency campaign, a partnership with community organizations, businesses, and residents that is working together to uplift the community and support local businesses.
