Better known for narrow streets lined with red lanterns and eclectic shops, Chinatown also has some of the best Modernist architecture in San Francisco, much of it designed by Chinese-American architects.

Palm Springs Modernism Week takes place in February, but you can get a taste of what's to come with the Fall Preview, a “mini-Modernism Week” to kick-off the active social and recreational season in Palm Springs. Taking place from October 17-20, attendees can celebrate midcentury modern lifestyle and design and participate in events and activities that are new to the festival, as well as returning favorites.
