Over time, Chinese immigrants from Hoyu Township have brought this tradition to America. Organized and led by the Philadelphia Hoyu Chinese American Association, the inaugural Hoyu Folk Culture Festival took place in Philadelphia's Chinatown on February 22, 2009. Serving as one of the largest American celebrations of this age-old homecoming tradition, the festival features a procession, musical performances, lion dances, and traditional opera. People from across the East Coast converge every year on the event, illustrating its significance as a vital link for immigrant families from Fujian to preserve their cultural heritage and pass down traditions to future generations.

随着时间的推移，来自猴屿乡的移民将这一传统带到美国。 由费城猴屿华人协会组织领导的首届猴屿民俗文化节于 2009 年 2 月 22 日在费城唐人街举行，成为美国最大的庆祝这一古老返乡传统的年度活动。活动特色是游神（模仿神明巡游的传统民俗活动）、音乐表演、舞狮和传统戏曲。 来自东海岸各地的人们齐聚一堂庆祝，体现了福建移民保存文化遗产、传承传统文化的重要意义。
