Taiwan public holidays in April 2026

There are two Taiwan public holidays in April – Children’s Day (4 April) and Tomb-Sweeping Day (5 April) . Both fall on the same four day long weekend in Taiwan from Friday 3 April to Monday 6 April 2026.

Tomb-Sweeping Day in Taiwan is a traditional holiday to remember loved ones and family ancestors by cleaning graves and eating large family meals together – expect heavy traffic and busy public transport during this time.

There are 62 Taiwan baseball games in April 2026 – there are CPBL baseball games every day in April 2026 EXCEPT 4, 7, 11, 18 and 25 April.

Taiwan baseball is suitable for all ages and it is easy to buy baseball tickets online or in person at the baseball stadiums or using the Taiwan convenience store ticket machines in 7-Eleven and FamilyMart.

Many games are played at the new Taipei Dome in Xinyi. Taiwan baseball tickets start from as low as NT$400 for outfield tickets (prices correct as of March 2026).

The Taiwan baseball / CPBL games can usually be seen 6 days a week during baseball season – it is only Monday when there are no baseball games played (and the odd other day).

Enjoy the evening action on and off the field as the stands often erupt into cheers with entertainment and dancing also quite common.

Daan Forest Park (大安森林公園) has this annual Taipei flower festival with colorful floral displays of awesome azalea attracting thousands of visitors (and butterflies!).

When we visited one year, the azaleas in Daan Park looked incredible, like a carpet of rainbow colours, plus the trees were strung with thousands of colourful paper cranes.

Dotted around the park were floral floats and flower displays (including a giant robot!) which change each year – special spring musical concerts are often put on at the amphitheater too.

The Taipei Azalea Festival 2026 is free to attend and takes place from 6 March until 6 April 2026 – be sure to combine this with a trip to Yongkang Street nearby, Taipei’s tastiest neighborhood.

The Neimen Song Jiang Battle Ritual has a combined prize pot of NT$2,000,000 (around £50,000 or $60,000 USD) which lots of groups ‘battled’ to win.

From dancing lions to a sea of drummers, martial arts to musical displays, this is one of the most memorable Kaohsiung events in April 2026.

Three days of live music, drinks and fun, the 台灣祭Taiwan Music Festival 2026 line-up includes ROTTENGRAFTY, FIRE EX, Crowd Lu and more.

There are five stages of music, numerous food and drink stalls and this Taiwan April 2026 festival takes over Kenting Dayan Recreation Area.

And this year, the 2026 Dapeng Bay Marine Festival is Kakao Friends themed so can see Choonsik the Cat and Ryan the Lion ‘all at sea’.

During the daytime, the waters are filled with sailing ships, yachts and canoes of all shapes and sizes whilst at night, the bay lights up and revellers are treated to various performances (including fisherman’s tales and the odd sea shanty).

Other activities include a small marine market, a chocolate bar treasure hunt plus a keel boating experience; it all sounds a bit ‘fishy’ but fun to us!

Held every year over several weeks between late March and early May, several artists and creators install new temporary exhibits during the Treasure Hill Light Festival (the village and its artworks can also be visited all year round).

Exploring the theme of light, expect a wide range of installations and ‘illuminating’ pieces – this April 2026 Taipei event is free to attend.
