The Taiwanese American Student Association at the University of California, Santa Barbara, held its annual night market at Storke Plaza, across from the University Center on May 4. Like a traditional Taiwanese night market, there were food booths, games and other vendors. The night was punctuated with musical and artistic performances, in a celebration of Taiwanese culture.
