May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month in the United States. During this season of late spring and early summer, New York City will be hosting a vibrant Taiwan market for the first time. This special cultural event is set to grandly open on the afternoon of May 11th at “Culture Lab LIC” in Long Island City, Queens. The purpose of this event is to showcase Taiwan’s unique market culture and promote cultural exchange between the East and West. Following this inaugural event, the market will be held at the same location every month, aiming to bring the flavors of Taiwan deep into the hearts of New Yorkers.
The “Taiwan Market” will make its debut in New York City this summer, offering a curated selection of Taiwanese snacks, handicrafts, and live entertainment. This event is not just a feast for foodies but also a platform for cultural exchange and experience.
Participants on the day of the event will have the chance to taste authentic Taiwanese cuisine, including bubble milk tea, popcorn chicken, fried rice noodles, and more. While savoring these delights, they can also enjoy Taiwanese ballroom dance tutorials and music performances, immersing themselves in Taiwan’s rich cultural heritage. To make the event more unique and impactful, “TaiwanFest.NYC” has invited singer “Jillyeah” to perform, expressing profound feelings for Taiwanese culture through songs and guiding guests to a deeper understanding of Taiwan’s market culture.
Additionally, the market will feature a Taiwan creative arts zone where vendors from Taiwan will showcase their exquisite handicrafts such as jewelry and handmade goods, a perfect combination of Taiwan’s heritage spirit and New York’s modern innovation.
The “Taiwan Market” aims to become a significant event on New York’s cultural calendar, attracting not only local residents but also food and culture enthusiasts from all over.
The organizers look forward to spending this May with New Yorkers, immersing themselves in the aroma of Taiwan’s snacks and the pleasant sounds of music, experiencing a true Taiwan market.
