Taipei City Office of Commerce (TCOOC) is holding the “Greater Guanghua Commercial District Summer Festival” at Syntrend plaza and the area surrounding Lane 43 on Bade Road Section 1 over the weekend of August 12 and 13.

The festival -- spanning Bade Commercial District, Guanghua Digital Plaza, Syntrend, Huashan 1914 Creative Park, and National Taipei University of Technology -- features the latest consumer electronics, cultural and creative products, beverages, and activities for the entire family.

According to TCOOC Director Tsai Tsung-hsiung, in addition to a wide array of digital gadgets and curiosities, the event also spotlights activities such as calligraphy demonstration, laser cut ornaments, and additive-free homemade popcicles from a business based in the coastal range of eastern Taiwan. Pop dance and band performances will also lighten up the joyous atmosphere at the event, while kids will find excitement at the giant inflatable bouncers.

What’s more, visitors who take photos with theme installations at the event and upload them to their Facebook page with the tag “Greater Guanghua Commercial District Summer Festival (大光華商圈-夏日嘉年華)" will be eligible to enter a raffle with prizes spanning CPUs, motherboards, movie tickets, and more!
