As part of the the Chinese New Year celebration, Chinese Americans come to Oakland Chinatown every year to buy presents, decorations, and special foods. In addition, Chinatown's restaurants become a hub for many friends and families to gather for traditional Lunar New Year dinners. The Chinese New Year Bazaar was created in 1991 by the Oakland Chinatown Chamber of Commerce to provide a festive event for Oakland Chinatown to celebrate and welcome the lunar new year. This annual event covers two city blocks and occurs every year on a weekend in either late January or February, depending on when new year falls on the lunar calander. The outdoor bazaar allows local businesses to sell traditional flowers and gifts in celebration of Chinese New Years The event is located inside the Pacific Renaissance Plaza's Courtyard and surrounding streets.
