TAIWANfest
From its humble beginnings as the Music Night of Taiwanese Composers in 1990, TAIWANfest has grown to be the largest English/Mandarin bilingual cultural festival in all of Canada, and the largest event outside the island nation to bear the name “Taiwan”.
LunarFest
As a legacy event from Vancouver 2010 Cultural Olympiad, LunarFest is a celebration of Lunar New Year for all cultures and traditions.
