Unfortunately for all the celebrations took place on Oct 01, 2009 in Trinidad which celebrates the founding of the People's Republic of China. It has been dubbed Chinese Double 10 in Trinidad but has no affiliation to the events in Taiwan as most of the Chinese in Trinidad are from mainland China.
There are still various other events, including Dragon Boat Races, held at Chinese Associations across the country, but the main feast and festival, including the Dragon Dances, occurred on Oct 01, 2009.

"The National Day of the People's Republic of China (simplified Chinese: 国庆节; traditional Chinese: 國慶節; pinyin: guóqìng jié) is celebrated every year on October 1. It is a public holiday in the People's Republic of China to celebrate its national day.[2]
The PRC was founded on October 1, 1949 with a ceremony at Tiananmen Square. The Central People's Government passed the Resolution on the National Day of the People's Republic of China on December 2, 1949 and declared that October 1 is the National Day. [3]
The National Day marks the start of one of the two Golden Weeks in the PRC. However, there have been some recent controversies over whether Golden Weeks should be kept.
The National Day is celebrated throughout mainland China, Hong Kong, and Macau with a variety of government-organised festivities, including fireworks and concerts. Public places, such as Tiananmen Square in Beijing, are decorated in a festive theme. Portraits of revered leaders, such as Sun Yat-sen, are publicly displayed."
