A new highlight is coming to summer evenings in Taitung. The "Circus Zone" of the 2026 Taitung Expo will open on July 4, bringing seven consecutive weeks of high-wire stunts, giant wheel performances and contemporary circus acts. The event transforms outdoor spaces into a large-scale circus playground beyond the traditional tent format.
This year's Circus Zone adopts the concept of turning the city into a stage. Circus performances will move beyond conventional venues into parks, plazas and public spaces, allowing visitors to experience circus arts up close. Events will take place every Saturday and Sunday evening from July 4 to August 16.
Programs will include high-wire stunts, contemporary circus performances and large-scale installations, with different highlights each week. The finale will feature a giant wheel act and a large U-shaped apparatus performance, showcasing impressive skills and visual spectacle.
Street performers will also appear throughout the event area, creating unexpected encounters with live performances. The open-format presentation aims to bring circus arts into everyday life while adding excitement to Taitung's summer nights.
Additional program details and event highlights for the 2026 Taitung Expo Circus Zone will be announced on official platforms starting June 24.
