The Taiwanese Canadian Cultural Society is proud to announce that the 2026 Taiwanese Canadian Cultural Festival (TCCF) will return this summer from July 4 to 11. 

A Historic Milestone: Celebrating Taiwanese Heritage Month

Building on the momentum of 2025, the festival serves as the centerpiece for Taiwanese Heritage Month.

This year’s programming is a masterclass in traditional Taiwanese performing arts. The festival will feature three iconic traditional troupes from Taichung, Taiwan, including:

Taiwanese Opera and Hand Puppetry

Taste of Taiwan: Authentic street food, snacks, and specialty souvenirs.

Cultural Workshops: "Story Lantern" crafting, interactive mural walls, and a creative kids' zone.
