The Taiwanese Canadian Cultural Society (TCCS) is thrilled to announce an exciting new chapter for 2025: Taiwanese Heritage Month in Canada (THMC)! This vibrant month-long celebration will bring the best of Taiwanese arts, culture, and heritage to communities across Greater Vancouver like never before.
Building on the success of our annual festival, we are expanding beyond a single weekend to offer four weeks of unforgettable experiences — connecting diverse communities through music, visual arts, cinema, dance, workshops, and delicious Taiwanese cuisine.
Join us throughout July 2025 as we celebrate Taiwanese culture’s beauty, creativity, and spirit.
Week 1: July 4–6
The festivities kick off with the beloved Taiwanese Canadian Cultural Festival at the Vancouver Art Gallery North Plaza. Experience a dynamic weekend of outdoor performances on two stages — featuring traditional and contemporary Taiwanese music, cultural workshops, artisan markets, and a captivating artist exhibition. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and flavors of Taiwan in the heart of downtown Vancouver!
Week 2: July 12–13
The celebration continues at Surrey City Hall’s Centre Stage and Atrium. Enjoy a weekend of indoor concerts, vibrant dance performances, and stunning visual art displays that showcase the powerful bond between Taiwan and Canada. Perfect for families and culture enthusiasts alike!
Week 3: July 19–20
Experience community connection during TCC Community Days at the Taiwanese Cultural Centre in Vancouver’s Marpole neighborhood. Explore two full floors of cultural exhibitions, live performances by emerging Taiwanese musicians, interactive talks, hands-on workshops, and traditional Taiwanese food. Bring your family, friends, and neighbors for an enriching cultural weekend!
Taiwan Cinema: July 17 ~ 24
At the same time, the "Taiwan Cinema" will screen four of the most moving Taiwanese short films in the past decade at the Taiwanese Cultural Centre from July 17 to July 24. They will touch your heart without long narration. Regardless of the subject matter, style or narrative language, each contains a unique perspective and deep emotions, showing the diverse energy and abundant creativity of Taiwanese image creators.
Grand Finale: July 26
Don't miss the spectacular closing event — the Taiwanese Canadian Musician Series Concert at the Vancouver Playhouse Theatre. Celebrate the culmination of THMC with an inspiring performance by a talented Vancouver Pops Orchestra and Choir, leaving you with lasting memories of this incredible month.
