Browsing: things to do in Kaohsiung
The Megaport Festival (大港開唱), one of southern Taiwan’s best-known music events, will return to Kaohsiung on March 21 and 22, 2026, marking its 20th anniversary with performances at the Pier-2 Art Center (駁二藝術特區).
E-Da World will provide free shuttle services before and after the event. On Dec. 31, free shuttle buses will operate from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m.
As city events grow more active, officials said making smart transportation choices is essential. Leaving private vehicles at home and relying on MRT and light rail services, they added, helps ensure that Kaohsiung weekends remain lively without becoming congested.
Workers currently need to detour through Manila, adding hours of travel and additional expense, but a restored Kaohsiung–Laoag service would cut both costs and transit time for Ilocano families, and boost ties, says Ilocos Norte Governor .
Kaohsiung officials say the Christmas Festival at Central Park now ranks as southern Taiwan’s largest year-end cultural gathering.
The exhibition, titled “Sacred Waters: Cultural Beliefs and Folklore in the Gaoping River Basin” (這條河很神!高屏溪流域的信仰故事), opened Monday at the Kaohsiung Museum of History.
Twelve lighting installations are spread throughout Central Park, and will remain on display through January 4, 2026.
The Neimen Tourism and Recreation Park (內門觀光休閒園區), covering roughly 11.5 hectares, is currently undergoing phased construction, with a soft opening targeted for late 2025.
