【華府新聞日報訊】大華府區客家同鄉會6月13日在馬里蘭州Bohrer Park舉辦「端午客家野餐暨客語咖啡車」活動，透過客家美食、客語互動及藝文表演歡慶端午佳節，吸引客家鄉親及社區民眾熱情參與。

僑務委員會委員長徐佳青攜僑商處副處長廖雲萱、華府僑教中心主任黃正杰、副主任李佳蓉應邀出席，與僑胞共度佳節，並肯定客家同鄉會長期推廣客家文化及客語傳承的努力。 活動由大華府區客家同鄉會會長劉文琤主持，僑務委員曾俊明及多位客家社團代表共同參與。

現場除準備客家粽、艾粄、粄粽等傳統端午美食外，並結合客語教學及互動體驗，讓與會民眾在輕鬆氛圍中認識客家文化。 徐佳青致詞表示，客家文化蘊含豐富的人文精神與生活智慧，語言更是文化傳承的重要根基。她肯定同鄉會以創新方式推出「客語咖啡車」，透過點餐、問候等生活化對話，鼓勵民眾開口說客語，讓語言自然融入日常生活，不僅有助客語傳承，也讓更多不同族群朋友有機會認識客家文化。 

徐佳青指出，僑委會近年推動「Move to Next Generation」政策方向，鼓勵青年參與僑社事務及文化傳承工作。她期盼透過更多結合創意與文化的活動，讓客語走入生活、走向國際，吸引更多年輕世代及主流社會人士認識並欣賞客家文化的獨特魅力。 活動期間並安排客家歌謠演唱、舞蹈表演及客語互動遊戲，現場氣氛熱絡溫馨。與會鄉親一同品嚐客家美食、欣賞藝文演出並交流聯誼，展現海外客家社群凝聚力，也為推廣客家語言與文化注入新活力。

The Hakka Association in Washington D.C. (HAWMA) held a "Dragon Boat Hakka Picnic and Hakka-Language Coffee Truck" event at Bohrer Park in Maryland on June 13. The celebration featured Hakka delicacies, interactive language activities, and arts performances, attracting enthusiastic participation from local Hakka compatriots and community members.

Hsu Chia-ching, Minister of the Overseas Community Affairs Council (OCAC), attended the event alongside Liao Yun-hsuan, Deputy Director General of the Department of Overseas Compatriot Business; Jack Huang, Director of the Culture Center; and Deputy Director Rita Lee. They celebrated the festival with overseas compatriots, and Minister Hsu commended the Hakka Association for its long-term dedication to promoting Hakka culture and language preservation. The event was hosted by Katherine Liu Slater, President of the HAWAM, with OCAC Commissioner Chunming Tseng and several representatives from local Hakka organizations in attendance. 

In addition to traditional Dragon Boat festival foods like Hakka zongzi (rice dumplings), ai ban (mugwort rice cakes), and ban zong, the event featured Hakka language lessons and interactive experiences, allowing attendees to learn about Hakka culture in a relaxed atmosphere. In her address, Hsu Chia-ching noted that Hakka culture is rich in humanistic spirit and life wisdom, emphasizing that language is the foundational root of cultural inheritance. She praised the association's creative initiative of launching the "Hakka-Language Coffee Truck." By using everyday dialogue such as ordering coffee and greetings, the initiative encourages people to speak Hakka and naturally integrates the language into daily life. This approach not only aids language preservation but also introduces Hakka culture to diverse communities.

Hsu pointed out that the OCAC has recently advanced its "Move to Next Generation" policy to encourage youth participation in community affairs and cultural inheritance work. She hopes that through creative and cultural activities, the Hakka language can become part of daily life and expand internationally, drawing more younger generations and mainstream society to appreciate the unique charm of Hakka culture. The event also featured Hakka folk song singing, dance performances, and interactive language games, creating a warm and lively atmosphere. Attendees enjoyed Hakka food, appreciated the performances, and networked, showcasing the strong cohesion of the overseas Hakka community and injecting new vitality into the promotion of Hakka language and culture.

亞洲嘉年華 / DC 龍舟競賽 Fiesta Asia Street Fair / DC Dragon Race

5/16 客家同鄉會同時參加兩活動！

一邊在 Asian Fiesta 展示客家文化魅力，一邊在龍舟競賽為亞裔社群加油 。今年我們帶來了特製的馬到成功卡片，還有美美的桐花風車，小朋友們看到都愛不釋手呢！ 更讚的是客委會提供的客家文物和購物袋，沒想倒也能看到印著客家話的袋子在華府街頭。

雖然一天兩場活動，但看到大家對客家文化的熱情回應，很值得。兵分兩路，全力支持，這就是我們的客家精神！

On May 16, the Hakka Association participated in two events simultaneously on May 16! 

On one side, we showcased the charm of Hakka culture at the Asian Fiesta, and on the other, we cheered for the Asian community at the DC Dragon Boat Race. This year, we brought specially made "Ma Dao Cheng Gong" (Success Immediately) cards and beautiful Tung blossom pinwheels—the children couldn't put them down! 

Even better, we had cultural artifacts and shopping bags provided by the Hakka Affairs Council. It was unexpected to see bags printed with Hakka language on the streets of Washington D.C.

Although it was two events in one day, seeing everyone's enthusiastic response to Hakka culture made it all worth it. Dividing into two groups to fully support—this is our Hakka spirit!

5/16/2026 亞洲嘉年華 ~街頭集市 Fiesta Asia Street Fair

一年一度的「亞洲嘉年華 ~街頭集市」於5/16/2026 在美國華盛頓特區舉行，由「全美臺灣客家文化基金會」主導，偕同「大華府區客家同鄉會」、「大華府客家桐花合唱團」設立客家文化攤位參加此次活動。 

今年客家攤位的主題是「客家茶」的介紹，並於當天供應「東方美人茶」試飲，試飲的人群絡繹不絕並得到無數的佳評。 

現場也教做由理事張樞華設計的客家童玩：「馬到成功」卡片與「桐花風車」。吸引了大大小小的遊客駐足著手製作外，也一併了解「客家」起源與文化。 

「客委會」提供的臺灣客家文宣與小物件，大大增加宣傳「客家」的推動力；其中臺灣客家紀念品供不應求，全部發送完畢。 

感謝僑委會的指導與贊助、客委會提供客家文宣、全體工作人員無私付出，使我們在此熱鬧歡樂的嘉年華會中，再次宣揚臺灣客家文化。

The annual "Fiesta Asia Street Fair" was held on May 16, 2026, in Washington, D.C. Leading the effort, the Taiwanese Hakka Culture Foundation of America, along with the Greater Washington Area Hakka Association and the Washington DC Hakka TungFa Choir, set up a Hakka culture booth to participate in the event.

This year's Hakka booth theme was an introduction to "Hakka Tea," featuring tastings of "Oriental Beauty Tea," which attracted a steady stream of visitors and received countless compliments. The site also featured DIY workshops on Hakka children’s toys designed by board member Chang Shuhua: "Ma Dao Cheng Gong" (Instant Success) cards and "Tung Blossom Pinwheels." These activities attracted visitors of all ages, allowing them to stop, create, and learn about the origins and culture of the Hakka people.

Promotional materials and small items provided by the Taiwanese Hakka Affairs Council greatly boosted the promotion of "Hakka" culture; the Taiwanese Hakka souvenirs were in high demand and were fully distributed.

We would like to express our gratitude to the Overseas Community Affairs Council for their guidance and sponsorship, the Hakka Affairs Council for providing promotional materials, and the selfless dedication of all staff members, which allowed us to once again promote Taiwanese Hakka culture in this lively and joyful carnival.
