SAN FRANCISCO – The 19th annual Taiwanese American Cultural Festival will be held on May 14, 2011 in Union Square.
The event will feature performances by a middle school Folk Sports Troupe from Taiwan, as well as local young professional Taiwanese American musicians, including Johnny Hi-Fi Band.
At the festival, fair goers will experience a “night market” – a popular element of Taiwan, learn more about Taiwan history and Taiwanese Americans in the Bay Area, as well as enjoy Taiwanese delicacies and snacks.
Last year, over 5,000 visitors attended the festival, including distinguished guests such as Jackie Speier, US Congresswoman; David Chiu, President of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors; Gavin Newsom, former Mayor of San Francisco and current California State Lieutenant Governor.
Exhibition booths will present proud products from Taiwan, such as orchids, technology, art, and information about Taiwanese American organizations in the Bay Area. In addition, people should not leave the festival without tasting traditional Taiwanese foods and learning about the beautiful tourist attractions in Taiwan.
