The 2026 Taipei Water Dance Festival invites you to a mesmerizing outdoor theater of light and sound!

From June 13th to June 27th, the 2026 Taipei Water Dance Festival will grandly debut at the Rainbow Bridge and Xikou Wharf. This 15-day immersive water dance feast features daily performances at 18:30, 19:30, 20:30, and 21:00 (with the exception of the opening night on June 13, which features a single show at 19:30).
Building on the massive success of 2024 and 2025, which drew over a million visitors, this year’s festival returns fully upgraded. In addition to the highly anticipated return of international IPs and the "Dance of Water and Fire," the event brilliantly connects the Rainbow Bridge with the Keelung River. Water will cascade from the bridge to a 170-meter dual water-dance platform, where an 80-meter linear water wall and a 90-meter S-shaped waterscape intertwine to create the majestic "Dance of the Twin Dragons." No matter your vantage point, you are guaranteed to capture a perfect, breathtaking view.

Global Melodies Meet Light and Water: A 5-Minute Musical Journey Around the World
This year’s program features world-renowned hits, turning the riverside into a grand outdoor theater. From classic Western operas and cinematic themes to chart-topping Japanese animated scores and the global phenomenon of K-POP, the diverse musical layers will thrill your senses. Through dynamic water formations, shifting lights, and rhythmic choreography, music is transformed into a dance of droplets and shadows, delivering unprecedented sensory impact.

Weekly Excitement: International IPs and Spectacular Performances
YOYO figures and international cartoon IPs will take turns appearing each week to bring vibrant interactive performances. On June 13th, the festival opens with a "Rainbow Party" featuring the globally famous My Little Pony, perfectly complementing the iconic Rainbow Bridge. On June 27th, the grand finale will feature the timeless PINGU, touching the hearts of all generations with a "Cute & Dreamy" celebration.

Don't miss the special bonus: the "Dance of Water and Fire" will be performed during the 19:30 shows on both the Opening Night (June 13th) and the Grand Finale (June 27th), where light, flames, and water jets compose the ultimate climax of the festival!
