Hello. Just wanted to let you know that my family attended the Vancouver Chinatown Festival on Saturday, Aug. 15th, 2010. We had a great time. My 5-year-old daughter (she had on a green dancing tutu) loved dancing between the sets of the break dancers. My son also enjoyed watching the dancers. We were visiting from Cleveland, Ohio and felt sooo lucky that we got a chance to enjoy the event!
