Welcome

In 1992, President Bush signed Act HR5572, which named May as Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. In 1999, Congress designated the second week in May as Taiwanese American Heritage Week to recognize the contributions of Taiwanese Americans. 


Since the initiation of our Passport to Taiwan festival in 2002, it has become the largest outdoor Taiwanese American event in the entire United States. In New York, the event is viewed as the largest Asian American festival.


We are grateful for the ongoing support we have received over the years as we celebrate two decades of celebration. Thank you for your participation in the festival. Enjoy! Thank you!

Special collaboration

 In 1624, during the Age of Discovery, Taiwan took center stage as a Dutch fortress was erected in what is now Tainan City. This event marked the beginning of the ‘Tainan 400’ series of celebrations. Over the course of these 400 years, diverse ethnic groups and cultures have encountered both conflict and fusion. The colonial legacy has shaped the path toward the future. And speaking of history, did you know that the Dutch also discovered ‘New Amsterdam’ 400 years ago? Explore further to uncover

Oh-Ah-Jian

OYSTER OMELETTE - A classic street food in Taiwan, this pancake includes oysters as well as starchy water that's poured into the pan, creating a clear jelly swirled in between the egg and oysters. It's topped off with sweet-and-savory tomato-based sauce. 

Chua Bing

SHAVED ICE - Topping made with local ingridients on a bowl of shaved ice and a drizzle of sweetened condensed milk. It's Taiwan's version of a sundae.
