Bitan Water Festival 2026
Water shows, markets, and performances in the scenic area
Bitan’s riverside area is turning into an open-air stage for six weeks, featuring water dance shows, laser projections, light installations, markets, fireworks, and weekend performances.
The event runs from May 1 to June 14, with music, lights, and laser projections on a large water screen, according to promotional materials.
Shows take place every 30 minutes from 6:30 PM to 9 PM, with each show lasting about five minutes. On May 1, the first show starts at 7 PM to accommodate the opening ceremony, organizers said.
Visitors can also check out light installations on the grassy slope opposite the main water dance area from 6 PM to 9:30 PM daily.
A market will be held at Bitan East Bank Plaza from 1 PM to 9 PM every Sunday. Other weekend activities include street performances, DJ sets, pop-up dance performances, guided walks, and a closing fireworks show from 8 PM to 8:05 PM on June 14.
Some outdoor performances may be changed depending on the weather, so check the New Taipei Travel Facebook page before going.
