A night of Taiwanese food, Taiwan Beer and 4 live bands at the Third Annual “Hello Taiwan Rocks!” Concert on Nov 17th from 6-10pm at Taiwan Center in Flushing New York. This year we are bringing more amazing musicians as well as a theme of Taiwan Night Market to kick off Thanksgiving weekend. Event proceeds will go the Hurricane Sandy Relief effort!
For the 3rd Hello Taiwan Rocks! event the proceed will go the Hurricane Sandy Relief effort, In particular, to the Breezy Point firemen whose houses were burned down. We felt terrible that many of them were the first responders at 9/11 terrorist attack and now are homeless.
New York City has long been one of the leading centers of indie music movement. Within it, Taiwanese musicians are also in the scene making music and hoping one day in reaching to the top. Flushing is where many of the Taiwanese immigrants settle when they first arrive in New York, and Taiwan Center was established to be the community hub for all Taiwanese events. Though the concert is only in its third year, the organizers wish it to be an annual tradition to provide an opportunity for the indie bands to showcase their music and for the younger generation to unite, celebrate and network.
This year, we have also added the popular Taiwanese culture, Taiwan Night Market, to bring you all some Taiwan’s most iconic snacks while enjoy the performance at the same time!
