■ Taiwan Festival
The name combines "Fa Cai" (發財), a Taiwanese term, with "festival" (祭), meaning event or festival.
It's an auspicious phrase used in New Year's greetings, meaning "May you become wealthy," and expresses a wish for good fortune, prosperity, and wealth.
This Taiwanese Celebration brings good fortune and prosperity to all who attend!!
