Please join us for a free screening of The Lost Arcade with Director/Producer Irene Chin who will be present for a Q&A at the end. The film is approximately one hour and 16 minutes long and premiered in 2016.

Many of us were raised in Chinatown and remember fondly about Chinatown Fair, and many of you remember it being on the other side of the street under the Port Arthur Restaurant. I myself, had a visited Chinatown fair many times having lived only mere blocks from Mott Street.
