Hing Hay Park, Seattle Chinatown International District
A Multicultural
Experience
Seattle Chinatown International District has been significantly impacted by COVID-19 and Asian hate crimes, resulting in an economic downturn. Many restaurants and businesses were boarded up and forced to temporarily or even permanently closed this past year.
As part of our effort to revitalize CID and align with our City’s Road to Downtown Recovery Plan, the CID community is inviting you to come join us for a day full of multicultural entertainment, activities for kids and family, raffles, games, and more!
Do not miss out the opportunity to win over $4000 worth of prizes through raffle drawings and activity leaderboards at the top of every hour (20+ winners every hour). Our prizes include: Amazon gift cards, Echo Dots, Lady M cakes, Chowbus gift cards and restaurant gift cards.
