Founded in 1988, the San Francisco
Chinatown Merchants Association (CMA) is an independent community
organization dedicated to the revitalization of commerce and tourism
in one of America's most unique historic neighborhoods. In 1991,
shortly after the devastating Loma Prieta earthquake which destroyed
the direct freeway link to Chinatown, CMA held our first Autumn
Moon Festival. Through our annual sponsorship of tradition-based
events like the Annual Autumn Moon Festival, the CMA seeks to help
visitors and locals alike appreciate the rich cultural heritage
of Chinatown and all those who live and work in the neighborhood.
