This very special event will take over the Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Park, the Classical Chinese Garden, and the public plaza. Pride in Chinatown celebrates queer Asian-Canadian art and artists that will tantalize all five senses.

Presented by On Main Gallery, Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, and Vancouver Art and Leisure as part of Alternative Pride Vancouver 2019. This will be an interdisciplinary art experience that will feature new experimental and traditional art forms which include electronic music, immersive theatre, media art installations, lion dancing, martial arts, drums, opera, culinary treats, drag and other non-binary encounters.

House of Rice, Vancouver’s only all Asian drag family, will be inhabiting the Garden's China Maple Hall and will play host to all those who wish to enter their oeuvre.

Onibana Taiko will perform thunderous drumming from atop the Ting.

Nancy Lee will provide evocative electronic music in the Hall of One Hundred Rivers.

Classical pianist Rachel Iwaasa will be performing a silent conceptual work.

And out-loud trans wizard Tien Neo Eamas will transform into the Floating Deity of the 8 Eternal Realms.

The plaza will feature a curated selection of local vendors and kiosks as part of a market space that will include additional performances and interventions by such artists as lion dancer Dora Ng, participatory art by Candie Tanaka, Mobil Art, and Hot & Noisy.

Love Intersection will feature traditional Chinese aphrodisiacs. Vendors will include Little Mountain, See You Soon Studio, and Edible Projects.
