The 2024 Central Taiwan Lantern Festival will be unveiled in grand style at Taichung Central Park with the Chinese zodiac dragon sign as the main theme. Its “Bravo”name, a play on the Taiwanese phrase “everything goes well”, highlights the charisma of a wonderful life in Taichung City and best wishes to everyone for a peaceful, joyful Year of the Dragon filled with good fortune and prosperity.
This year’s Lantern Festival, with its theme of “Blessed Living and Sustainable Travels”, offers various spacious settings with marvelous, natural magical scenes. Taichung Central Park’s central water retention basin resembles a swirling dragon, thereby turning the park into a mystical dragon paradise where every lantern area is a dragon’s lair, and every visitor becomes an adventurer, using the map to explore each lantern area to experience Taichung’s resplendent natural and cultural charms as they admire and interact with this event at a close distance.
Main Lantern –Taichung Bravo
This offers Taiwan’s first-ever mechanical lantern and light show combination parade on the water! The Central Taiwan Lantern Festival’s main “Taichung Bravo”lantern transforms Central Park’s water retention basin into a theater stage, with a mystical dragon swirling over the basin’s water-land boundary. The main dragon lantern, 76 meters long and 27 meters wide, includes a performance with dancers rotating, throwing and catching illuminated cubes to portray a dragon having fun with dragon balls and joins a mobile carrier over the water of about 150 meters to present a splendid main lantern show.
Main Lantern Show Time
One show per hour 18:00-21:00 between 2/16 (Fri.) and 2/25 (Sun.).

Forest in the Dream
Using flourishing oriental creatures as the foundation, all kinds of blessed elements are presented in combination with vivid colors and lights together with existing flowers and trees to create an overall tranquil ambience, realistic and surreal at the same time, for visitors to enjoy.

The Year of the Dragon is here again after 12 years and all disciples of the dragon are summoned with KUSO fun as a design theme. All organisms related to the dragon have been restyled and we invite everyone to find out how many “dragons” there are in the Who’s Bluffing lantern area!
