2026 New Taipei City Blossom Festival

Cherry Blossom Festival 2026 is a large-scale seasonal festival held in Tamsui, New Taipei City, Taiwan, inviting the public to experience cherry blossom viewing in a richer and more engaging way. Designed for visitors of all ages, the event transforms a traditional flower-viewing activity into a vibrant cultural celebration that combines nature, creativity, and local stories.
At the heart of the festival is the idea of making cherry blossom Festival more than just a photo opportunity. Through carefully planned programming, Cherry Blossom Festival 2026 encourages visitors to spend more time on site, explore different areas, and participate in activities that create lasting memories. From daytime strolls to nighttime illuminations, the event offers a full-day experience that appeals to families, young travelers, and international visitors alike.
A key visual and emotional highlight of the festival is the interactive installation inspired by renowned illustrator Jimmy Liao. Set along the cherry blossom paths and surrounding public spaces, the installation invites visitors to step into Jimmy Liao’s poetic illustrated world, where art, imagination, and everyday life gently intersect. Familiar characters and scenes create moments of recognition and warmth, encouraging visitors to pause, interact, and take photos while forming personal connections with the artwork.
The nighttime cherry blossom illumination further enhances the atmosphere after sunset, while interactive on-site puzzle activities guide participants through different areas of the venue in a playful and exploratory way. Guided cultural walking tours connect cherry blossom viewing with Tamsui’s history, architecture, and artistic landmarks, offering visitors a deeper understanding of the place they are visiting.
To further strengthen engagement, the festival features hands-on workshops led by local creative brands, including cherry blossom–themed handmade crafts, as well as photography sessions hosted by professional instructors. These experiences transform visitors from passive viewers into active participants.
