Using Tainan's 400 light-years as its inspiration, the 2024 Taiwan Lantern Festival will be the city's first major international event in its 400th year. "Dragon Shines in Tainan" (龍耀台南) is the Lantern Festival's theme, fitting with the Year of the Dragon. In the near future, the primary visual will also be made available, and the LOGO and standard characters will be designed by renowned paper-cut artist Yang Shi-yi (楊士毅).
