Taking place on Sunday, May 7th, the second annual Vancouver Hong Kong Fair hosted by local grassroots community group, HK House, is expecting a massive reception.
Vancouver Hong Kong Fair is the biggest Hong Konger cultural celebration in Canada, and the first of its kind. Featuring booths by Hong Konger artisans and small businesses, cultural exhibitions, performances, and a variety of cultural events, the fair creates an opportunity for the Hong Konger community, as well as anyone interested in learning more about, to gather and celebrate Hong Konger culture and community. This year’s fair is made possible with the support of 852 Kitchen.
