This year’s festival includes fusion concerts, Techno Prince dance, Taiwanese Aboriginal artisans, inspiring documentaries, fabulous culinary shows, games for all ages, Chef Hung’s “best beef noodle on earth,” and Vancouver’s first-ever street banquet in honour of Vancouver’s 125th birthday.

TaiwanFest 2011 & Vancouver’s First-Ever Street Banquet
Like everyone else, I hate that our (short) summer is coming to a close (sniff), but if there is one thing that makes that thought bearable it’s the annual Fair at the PNE, Vancouver’s farewell to summer that everyone loves, young and old alike.
Celebrating its 101st birthday this year, the 2011 Fair at the PNE is back bigger and better than ever. There are the rides, of course—including Playland’s brand-new Atmosfear—plus free Summer Night Concerts, live shows, Superdogs, mini-donuts, exhibitions, pig races, fairground games, and so much more!

Vancouver’s Chinatown celebrates its history and heritage this weekend with a two-day free festival in the very heart of that historic neighbourhood.
The annual Vancouver Chinatown Festival brings 50,000 spectators to Chinatown’s Columbia and Keefer Streets, making it one of the summer’s biggest multicultural festivals. This year, the festival includes an open market, historic walking tours, multicultural stage performances, a 125th anniversary photo exhibition at the Chinese Cultural Centre Museum (555 Columbia Street), Youth Talent Showdown 2011, and the fun, festive Streetfest.
Summer fun in Vancouver continues through August with loads of great, free events and activities for the whole family!
