Hualien’s biggest Indigenous celebration is back! And bigger than ever! The Pacific Austronesian Joint Harvest Festival officially opened on July 16 with a colorful ceremony, kicking off four days of festivities for the first time in the event’s history. Dance groups from Hawaii, Tahiti, Madagascar, and Hualien’s own Indigenous communities filled the streets of downtown Hualien in a vibrant international parade, drawing huge crowds and setting the stage for one of the region’s most anticipated cultural events.
Performers dressed up to the nines filled the street with song and dance as they paraded their way across downtown Hualien, attracting large crowds of onlookers.
The Indigenous paraders from Hualien were joined by dance troupes from as far away as Hawaii, Tahiti and Madagascar. Their dazzling performances officially kicked off the Pacific Austronesian Joint Harvest Festival.

We brought the festival into the city. We opened with the street parade on the first day, and for the next three days a program featuring 23 shows will let audiences experience the beauty of Austronesian cultures.
The Pacific Austronesian Joint Harvest Festival was inaugurated on July 16 at Hualien’s Dexing Grassland. For the first time ever, the festivities will stretch for four days. The highlight on Day 1 was a parade with Austronesian participants from the world over that covered a stunning 1.6km, along the bustling Zhongshan and Zhongzheng Roads. Shoppers at the Golden Triangle shopping area were stunned.

The performances include dance shows by troupes from Tahiti, Hawaii and Hualien’s six major Indigenous groups. We also have the theme songs and dances from previous editions to dance your heart out. We welcome everyone to come and join us.
The Hualien County Government hopes the festival will let Hualien showcase its rich heritage and put it on the world map as a unique and charming hub for Austronesian cultural exchanges.
