The Parade Carnival will take place every Saturday and Sunday from July 4 to August 16, 2026, throughout downtown Taitung, presenting fourteen afternoon carnival events across seven consecutive weekends. Centered around the Taitung Old Station area, the parade route connects the Tiehua Road Pedestrian Zone, Xinsheng Park, and surrounding arts and cultural venues, transforming the city itself into a vibrant stage of celebration.

Led by colorful floats, the carnival brings together percussion groups, themed installations, giant puppets, distinctive costumes, school and community participants, as well as performing teams from Taiwan and around the world. Through music, movement, and street performance, the city streets become the closest and most accessible stage for public interaction and shared celebration.

Each week unfolds under a different theme, beginning with the beauty of Taitung and extending into international exchange, ethnic cultures, ocean imagery, dance rhythms, musical expression, and artistic energy. Visitors are invited not only to watch the parade along the route, but also to move alongside the procession itself, immersing themselves in the rhythms of drums, dance, and cheers while experiencing the passionate encounter between Taitung’s diverse cultures and the spirit of carnival.
