Taiwan Takes Its Birthday to the East Coast
Taiwan’s October 10 National Day celebration heads to Taitung’s Pacific coast, where food trucks, local bands and fireworks share the bill.
Taitung National Day Celebration
Where: Beinan River mouth and the Seaside Park International Landmark area, Taitung, Taiwan
When: Saturday, October 10; food truck market from 3 p.m. Taiwan time
Program and broadcast information: Taitung Tourism
More than 60 food trucks join a celebration centered on Austronesian culture. A youth orchestra accompanies the fireworks, followed by a music party. Taiwan is 13 hours ahead of Chicago, so this is a morning window into someone else’s festive evening.
