Journey of Love – by Echo Dance

As an emerging dance troupe that brings together modern and traditional Chinese dance forms, Echo Dance Association will choreograph people’s wish to be loved to coincide with the wedding theme of the festival.

Originally founded in 1981 in Taiwan by Ms. Li-Hsuan Huang, the Echo Dance Association is a not-for-profit organization, dedicated to promoting and outreaching community arts through dance performances and related activities. Echo has performed in many varieties of events in the Greater Toronto Area, including Chinese New Year Festival 2000 at Rogers Centre, the Hamilton Dragon Boat Festival, the Toronto Street Festival, and so on. The annual performance “Tradition and Innovation” series has received acclaim from audiences every year.

What do you get when you combine several community organizations, a beautiful location, hundreds of dancers and a sunny summer that fades into a balmy evening? You get the Natsu Matsuri and Obon Festival at the JCCC. Thousands of visitors enjoy a lively festival atmosphere with games, great food, and spectacular performances. The festival is a particularly special one because of the co-operative effort of the many community organizations involved in making the event a huge success.

Date: second Saturday in July
