More than 120 people came out to enjoy the event, and it was especially nice to see several young people join in too. This yearly celebration is a great way for everyone to get together.

It brought members and friends together and helped build a warm sense of community.

Qixi Festival Pre-celebration        Yee Fung Toy Society of Edmonton held a small pre-celebration party for the Qixi Festival at its clubhouse on the third day of the seventh month of the 2026 lunar calendar. About fifty people attended. Participants included directors, supervisors, members, and family members of Yee Fung Toy Society of Edmonton and the Fung Toy Athletic Club; senior Ma clan members such as Ma Rui Shao, Ma Kai Xuan, and Ma Jin Shang, together with their accompanying relatives; and friends who often come to the association to play mahjong. Fung Toy Tong prepared a wide variety of fruits and snacks, including oranges, several kinds of plums, white peaches, bananas, red strawberries, blueberries, various grapes, watermelon, cantaloupe, and large barbecued pork buns. Several directors also generously donated food. Food donations included egg tarts from Stan, fried noodles from Jerome, black sesame sweet soup from Ying Hua, fried chicken pieces and egg rolls from Eric, sesame cake and red bean pudding from Ken Qiu, osmanthus cake from De Yong, coconut glutinous rice balls from Cong Ying, Chinese sausage flower rolls from Yao Tai, steamed fortune cakes from Yu Zhen, and pandan mung bean cake from Cui Ming. The many dishes filled a large ping-pong table, presenting a rich variety of colours, aromas, and flavours that made the spread especially inviting.  At 11:30 a.m., after the guests had gathered, Chairman Ying Hua delivered a welcoming speech. He first introduced the hometown customs associated with the Qixi Festival and the practice of honouring the Seven Fairies. On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, families traditionally prepare fruit and sesame sweet soup as the main offerings.  The table is set with seven kinds of fruit, seven bowls of sesame or peanut sweet soup, seven cups of tea, and seven sticks of burning incense. According to tradition, these offerings welcome the Seven Fairies as they descend to earth. Afterwards, people go to the balcony or outdoors to admire the night sky, gaze toward the Magpie Bridge across the Milky Way, and look for Altair and Vega, representing the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl. The event featured a wide variety of food and was intended to help everyone revisit hometown customs and culture. Chairman Ying Hua also introduced traditional festivals and customs observed throughout the lunar year, from the Spring Festival and Lantern Festival in the first lunar month to Little New Year’s Eve and Lunar New Year’s Eve in the twelfth. He also spoke about customs such as eating mugwort glutinous rice cakes in the second lunar month; eating “dog-shaped” glutinous rice dumplings in the third; celebrating the Dragon Boat Festival in the fifth; observing the Ullambana Festival in the sixth; honouring the Seven Fairies, or worshipping the stars, on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month; admiring the Mid-Autumn moon; climbing to high places and flying kites during the Double Ninth Festival; and eating winter solstice rice dumplings in the eleventh lunar month. These customs represent thousands of years of accumulated Huaxia cultural tradition and reflect the richness and vibrancy of Chinese community life .     Chairman Ying Hua thanked each of the directors who had donated food, after which the buffet luncheon officially began. Everyone enjoyed sharing the many delicious dishes, and the hall was filled with cheerful conversation and laughter. Such a distinctive Qixi Festival party is rarely seen among Chinese community associations. The 103-year-old Ma Duan Shao gave a smiling thumbs-up and praised the party with the four-character expression “a refreshing and original occasion.”. Ying
