TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A concert and 480-second fireworks display are set to take place at Dadaocheng Wharf on the evening of July 30 to celebrate Qixi Festival, the traditional Valentine’s Day that falls on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, Taipei City’s Department of Information and Tourism said in a press release.

The event traditionally includes a fireworks show, a concert, and other activities, and is held annually on the weekend before Qixi Festival, at Dadaocheng Wharf.

This year, the event will last from 4-9 p.m., and in addition to the 480-second pyrotechnic display and concert, there will be a love-themed cultural and creative market, food trucks, a cold beer area, and fun experiential activities, according to the department.

Last year, the department limited the number of people in attendance to 3,000 due to the pandemic, but there will be no limit this year. The department added that everyone is welcome to come with their partner, family, or friends to enjoy a romantic evening beside the river at Dadaocheng.
