New People is a Japanese popular culture store, theater, and art space in San Francisco that opens for the first time this Saturday, and you're invited to attend! The New People opening celebration takes place in the heart of San Francisco’s Japantown and is a day-long festival beginning at 11:00 AM with a ribbon cutting ceremony and a traditional Kagami-wari (breaking of a sake barrel) at the building’s entrance at 1746 Post Street.

A variety of Japanese pop-inspired events including fashion shows, film premieres, live art performances, and mini-concerts by some of Japan’s hottest punk and alternative bands are scheduled throughout the day, and innovative companies from the Bay area and Japan will exhibit an array of products for sale in open air displays on both sides of Post Street. A food court will further complement the celebration with delicious Japanese cuisine.

Guests at the New People grand opening include Yoshitaka Amano, Yuichi Yokoyama, and Baby, The Stars Shine Bright!
