Thank you for posting this video. It looks like a very nice celebration. I really liked the drums on the floats. Is there any particular significance to the drumming?

Hi,i'm Molly.
I think that we don't have any special foods or drinks during the festival.
But we often eat rice cakes(Mochi) in festivals.
We enjoy performs in Ping-Jen Art Festival.

Of course,many foods are offered sometimes.
But Art Festival may be no free foods offered.
Because Its focal point is “art”,not foods.

Hi! My name is Elizabeth. I go to Alexander Dawson School in Colorado in the United States. The Art Festival seems like a very fun holiday! Some of the floats were amazing! I was wondering, why are each of the dancers' faces different colors?
Phoebe10729 Oct 27, 2012
Hi! I am Phoebe.
The dancers are called
zan tai zu
in our culture.
The dancers' faces different colors
are because their levels are different.
Cool, right?

Yvonne1107 Oct 27, 2012
i guess the different faces mean different kinds of God and their power , i dont know it more , either haha ;)
Alex1107 Oct 27, 2012
the performer wears different kinds of faces . that's because the faces have different meaning . if you want to know anything about it . just ask us ^^
