TCC Community Days in 2026
Taiwanese Cultural Centre Community Days, or TCC Community Days, is an open house-style event with live music, art, workshops, food, films and family-friendly activities.
Hosted by the Taiwanese Canadian Cultural Society (TCCS), TCC Community Days usually takes place twice each year at the Taiwanese Cultural Centre. The spring edition celebrates Asian Heritage Month in late May while the summer edition celebrates Taiwanese Heritage Month in July. Both events are family-friendly and offer visitors an opportunity to experience Taiwanese culture through performances, exhibitions, workshops and traditional cuisine.
The Taiwanese Cultural Centre is also the host organization for the annual Taiwanese Canadian Cultural Festival, one of Metro Vancouver’s largest celebrations of Asian culture. The main event happens each summer in downtown Vancouver outside in the Vancouver Art Gallery’s North Plaza. The festival features large-scale cultural performances, food vendors, arts and crafts, children’s activities and more. In 2026 it happened on the weekend of July 4th and 5th.
