In May, I encountered an art event called "Blooming" in Chiayi.
The 2026 Chiayi Arts Festival, themed "Blooming," will scatter the seeds of art across every corner of the city. From historical buildings dating back to the Japanese colonial era to contemporary innovative spaces, art will no longer be just exhibits in halls, but will gradually blossom along with your footsteps in Chiayi Railway Station, art museums, and cultural parks.
The festival begins with the enticing aroma of "Chiayi Coffee Festival." We invite you to stroll through the cultural and creative park, which has been converted from an old winery, and hunt for treasures in the themed market; or visit Dongmen 1923 and Ximen Social Innovation Center to experience a cross-temporal dialogue between history and the present.
This is not just a festival, but a digital and immersive exploration of the city. Pick up your phone and join the interactive game in the themed art installation "Before Bloom" to witness the city's most vibrant cultural season as you take a walk.
