Our Thoughts
The stage is a place where our stories can be shared, resonating with audiences from far and wide. The performing arts allows us to uncover memories buried under time with Walking Melodies, or find a home away from home with Third Culture Collective, or continue cultural dialogues within the language of dance as Hidden Gem Dance Studio and Nahualli Folklore Society steps into the spotlight. TAIWANfest is engaging with the different communities of Canada, reflecting the diversity found on the island in Taiwan, and the ongoing innovations of the performing arts as people migrate and cultures mingle.

Performance / Vendor / Sponsorship Opportunities
Vancouver TAIWANfest is grateful to be held on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam Indian Band), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish Nation), and Səl̓ílwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh Nation). We acknowledge our privilege to be gathered here, and commit to work with and be respectful to the Indigenous peoples of this land while we engage in meaningful conversations of culture and reconciliation.
