Join Mayor Ko Wen-je in celebrating Double Ten Day! Taipei City Government will be holding a flag-raising ceremony at the Civic Plaza at 7 AM in the morning of October 10.
The flag-raising ceremony will kick-off with the performance by dance groups Touqianbei and TTQS, as well as a “Good Morning Taipei” warm-up exercise by the staff of World GYM at the main stage.
The flag-raising will feature the singing of the national anthem by eight new immigrants wearing the ethnic costumes from their respective home countries. Finally, indigenous performers will use their dance to conclude the event.
A special “weng weng pouch” will be given away to participants of the ceremony. A total of 3,000 pouches will be available, with exchange coupons being handed out starting 6:30 AM. The exchange time for the pouches is between 8 AM and 10 AM.
To celebrate Taipei’s diverse culture, a series of cultural activities spotlighting the contributions of new immigrants will take pace starting 8:30 AM at the Civic Plaza. The gathering will feature cooking events, children’s book reading competition, and photography contest.
According to the Department of Civil Affairs, there are approximately 50,000 new immigrants in Taipei City. The agency hopes that members from this group will feel at home and join their fellow citizens in attending the flag-raising ceremony.
