TaiwanFest is a festival celebrating Taiwanese food, music and culture in downtown Vancouver on the Labour Day Long Weekend in September.
TaiwanFest is a festival that features concerts and other live entertainment as well as lectures, films and culinary shows. It also has visual arts exhibits, family-oriented activities and a giant street party with food and market stalls.
TaiwanFest is one of Vancouver’s smaller major events, but is still very interesting and entertaining. There aren’t giant or multiple stages with live entertainment along Granville Street. There is usually just one stage where small bands play, plus numerous vendor and community organization booths.
The Taiwan Stage is a mobile, fold-out stage mounted on a truck, similar to the popular street stage cultural scene you might find in Taiwan.
