Excited
Each year in May, the Taiwanese American Federation of Northern California hosts the San Francisco Taiwanese American Cultural Festival in Union Square. Participants can watch performances by cultural groups from Taiwan and local Taiwanese American musicians, eat Taiwanese snacks, watch masters at work in the arts & crafts area, sample traditional Taiwanese tea, and learn more about Taiwan.
Last year, 5000 participants came to the Taiwanese American Cultural Festival. Ten Drums from Taiwan as well as local Taiwanese Americans musicians performed on stage. Members of the North American Taiwanese Women’s Association shared the traditions of Taiwanese tea. Popular Taiwanese snacks such as cotton candy and shaved ice were sold at the event.

We went on Saturday, and my daughter loved watching the Lion Dance. The festival was smaller than I expected, but I was happy to buy a "Taiwanese-American" t-shirt!
