Taipei is celebrating this year's Chinese Valentine’s Day (Qixi Festival) with an open-air concert and fireworks spectacle that defies social distancing rules as the country's coronavirus (COVID-19) threat wanes.
Themed “Love has no distance”, the event will take place at Taipei's Yanping Riverside Park on Saturday (Aug. 22), featuring a pop concert and a riverside firework show. The event will last from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m.
This year’s concert will feature Golden Melody Award-winning singer Eve Ai (艾怡良), singer-songwriter Fang Wu (吳汶芳) and bands like Astro Bunny (原子邦妮) and MEC (Men Envy Children) Band (小男孩樂團), and the fireworks will be displayed during the intermission.
