The Dragon Boat Festival is coming.
Next Monday is the Dragon Boat Festival, so we'll have a three-day holiday starting tomorrow.
The special traditional food for the Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi, normally made of sticky rice.
I learned how to make zongzi from my great-grandma when I was a kid, so I can make it by myself.
Every time I make zongzi I would remember my great-grandma and the generous love she gave me.
For most Chinese people, the Dragon Boat Festival is to remember the famous ancient person Qu Yuan. For me, it's also a time to remember my great-grandma.
下周一是端午节，所以从明天开始我们有三天假。
端午节特有的传统食物是糯米做的粽子。
我小时候从曾祖母那里学会了包粽子，所以我会自己包。
每次包粽子，我都会想起我的曾祖母和她给予我的慷慨的爱。
对大多数中国人来说，端午节是为了纪念著名的古人屈原。对我来说，这也是一个纪念我曾祖母的日子。

PUNCTUATION: No periods (Br. "final stops") at the end of TITLES. (If this is a sentence, then the original is fine.)
COMMENT: If the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated on slightly different dates in different countries around the world, then this wording is better: Next Monday is the Dragon Boat Festival in China, so we'll have a three-day holiday starting tomorrow. [If the Dragon Boat Festival is celebrated at the same time at places like Singapore, Taiwan, and the PRC then your wording is fine.]

"would" says that now when you make zongzi you don't remember her anymore.

I was just talking to my wife (she is Chinese) about this yesterday. It's hard for her sometimes because she is often away from her family during these holidays.

Thank you!
There is an old Chinese saying that goes, "Every festival brings on stronger longing for one's hometown."—每逢佳节倍思亲.
Please say hello to your wife for me and tell her I will eat a Zongzi for her :)

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming up.
For events on the calendar, we say "coming up."
Next Monday is the Dragon Boat Festival, so we'll have a three-day holiday(vacation) starting tomorrow.
In the USA, we say "vacation" to signify more than one day off. For example, "summer vacation."

Every time I make zongzi I would remember my great-grandma and the generous love she gavehad for me.
We do say "Give my love to (someone)" at the end of a phone call or letter, but not usually when describing someone in this way.
For most Chinese people, the purpose of the Dragon Boat Festival is to remember the famous ancient person Qu Yuan from long ago.
I recommend sticking to one adjective here and describing his lifetime in the past at the end of the sentence. It is fine to use two adjectives with a comma before a noun if they are equally important. For example, "The Chinese dinosaur Yutyrannus resembles the ancient Chinese dragons for its fierce, powerful appearance."
For me, it's also a time to remember my great-grandma.

The special traditional food foreaten during the Dragon Boat Festival is zongzi, normally made of sticky rice.
“Special” doesn’t sound natural here in English.
I learned how to make zongzi from my great-grandma when I was a kid, so I can make it them (by) myself.
This sounds more natural to me without “by.”
Every time I make zongzi I would remember my great-grandma and the generous love she gave me.
For most Chinese people, the Dragon Boat Festival is a time to [remember | commemorate] the famous ancient [person | poet] Qu Yuan.

I loved the zongzi I had in Taipei, and I also enjoyed the dragon boat races. I even joined my school dragon boat team and raced throughout the three-month racing season one year. It was hard work but a lot of fun. :-)

Thank you for the corrections and feedback!
Wow, It sounds fun to join a dragonboat team! I never could do that because I'm not good at swimming.
