Emily
Herstory
Our “History” has been missing the part of “HERSTORY” for far too long. This time, she will be telling her story in English and the language she chooses, so the vividness of her mother tongue can be preserved.
Beer Garden
On a hot summer’s day, what beats the glaring sun better than a cold glass of beer? This year at TAIWANfest, in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery, you can enjoy an ice-cold beer while enjoying the performances and films on stage!

Taiwan Bookstore – Women Inspired

Puppeteer Workshop – Vietnam’s Water Puppet

Puppeteer Workshop – Taiwan’s Glove Puppet
There is no doubt, Taiwan is an important place for the preservation and celebration of the puppet theatre. With its origins in folk culture and customs, the puppet show is a common sight at Taiwanese temple celebrations.
Fun Stop

Pig Hero Ring Toss
In 2019, the little Pig Heroes began their journey from LunarFest in the winter. This summer, they’ll continue their quest at TAIWANfest, as they search for the people with the most precise touch on Granville Street – all in an effort to help those in need!
