How Sydney Celebrates Taiwanese Culture in 2013

The Taiwan Day Festival 2011 drew crowds of more than 25,000 people two years ago, and this year it promises to be even bigger and more entertaining. Taiwan Festival Sydney 2013 will be held in Tumbalong Park, located in the incredible Darling Harbour, which is home to some of Sydney’s finest shopping boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and most unique watering holes.

Children of all ages are huge fans of this giant park, making it the perfect place to hold a multi-day outdoor festival. With free entry, you won’t have to worry about your pocketbook. You can bring the whole family for free!

With live performances, a variety of Taiwanese food stands, outdoor art displays and lots of other entertainment, this festival promises to be one you won’t want to miss.

It’s all in the Details

The Taiwan Festival Sydney 2013 will be held from Saturday 7 September to Sunday 8 September in the fantastic Tumbalong Park. Join the family-friendly fun where you’ll get the pleasure of experiencing the unique Taiwanese night market as a prelude to the main event at the festival.

Fabulous Taiwanese food such as pork dumplings, braised and sliced beef loins, pickled salads, deep fried tofu and tender pork ribs will be available for guests to enjoy at the festival, as well as the well-known pearl milk tea.

Don’t let your children miss out on the famous glove puppet performance (a traditional Taiwanese performing art), which includes the puppets acting out an epic story of fantasy, kung fu and adventure.

Between traditional and modern Taiwanese music and dance performances, brought to you by both local Australian and international performing artists, and even rides for the children, this festival is a fabulous way to spend a weekend in September.
