Location: Union Square Park

Also, to continue the celebration of Taiwanese American Heritage, we will be having an AFTER-PARTY at Slate, FREE when mentioning Passport to Taiwan or AsianInNY!

Since the initiation of “Passport to Taiwan” festival in 2002, it has become the most important event for TAA-NY as well as the Taiwanese American community in the New York Tri-State area. Tremendous resources have been gathered in order to make the event successful. The festival has since become the largest outdoor Taiwanese event in the entire United States.  In New York, the event is viewed as the most organized and entertaining Asian festival and is considered as the largest Mandarin speaking festival in the city.
