The Chinese New Year Festival & Parade is a Chinese culture estival held each February in San Francisco, California.

The organization strengthens and consolidates its ties with Chinese establishments, promotes Chinese culture, and helps to improve China-US relations. The Chinese Chamber of Commerce not only hosts such successful events as the annual San Francisco Chinese New Year Parade and the Miss Chinatown U.S.A. Pageant, but also supports city-wide urban development projects.
