The 2024 SF Taiwan Day took place last Saturday, May 25th at the Oakland Coliseum. It marked the third annual SF Taiwan Day, having been first held in 2022. The event aimed to connect Taiwanese and American baseball fans and celebrate Taiwanese culture with over 4,000 Taiwanese in attendance.
This year, the organizers were especially honored to have NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang throw the first pitch. This was his first time throwing the first pitch in a sports stadium. The billionaire and Taiwan native generated a lot of excitement at the Oakland Athletics Stadium.
The organizer T-League Baseball USA said that Taiwan Day used baseball, a passion for both the United States and Taiwan, to celebrate Taiwan’s diverse culture, connect with local communities, and showcase the spirit of the Taiwanese people to the world.
Attendees enjoyed a packed schedule of activities, including performances by the CTBC STEEL cheerleaders Wing Stars, Taiwanese rap legend Dwagie, and an opening national anthem performance by the talented 16-year-old ukulele virtuoso Feng E, who had captivated audiences on America’s Got Talent.
Co-organizer Katie Hsieh, founder of TaiwanNext Foundation, said, “Taiwan Next’s biggest goal was to unite Taiwanese people in North America. We were honored to be a part of SF Taiwan Day and will continue to promote various activities for Taiwanese people in North America.”
Silicon Valley Matchmaker founder Ken Hong said, “The mission of Silicon Valley Matchmaker was to connect more Taiwanese people in North America. Supporting SF Taiwan Day to foster connections between Taiwanese and American friends was a very meaningful event!”
