EVENT INFORMATION

Proceeds go to our partner foundation:

Organized by ATAYAL Director, Gary Smoke, the music and cultural festival brings a fun and colorful way for our friends in Taiwan to show support for our Indigenous Bridges Youth Ambassador Program (IBYAP). With 13 bands and cultural performers, it will be an memorable, family-friendly day to make new friends.

After a pause in our cultural exchange activities, the organization will resume Indigenous delegation exchanges with the Tribal Canoe Journeys in July 2023. This being the 4th trip to participate in the most significant Indigenous canoe-going exchange in the world, we named the concert, "Our Journey IV" Benefit Concert.

Tribal Canoe Journeys is an important part of the Indigenous Bridges Youth Ambassador Program, where the youth are immersed in identity-affirming culture and connected to future leaders for potential cooperation. The program also provides leadership and problem-solving training and mentorship, where indigenous wisdom and sustainable technology is passed down. The result will be Indigenous communities being revitalized from within and the culture and traditions being valued once again.

The concert venue is at Beitou VW Football Park, which is a short walk from the Beitou MRT Station (Red Line) in Taipei City.
