2024 Penghu Fireworks Festival extended to four months
The Penghu Tourism Department has announced that the 2024 Penghu International Fireworks Festival will take place from May 2 to Aug. 30 in Magong. The festival will showcase drone and fireworks performances, starting at 8 p.m. However, this decision has faced criticism due to concerns of audience fatigue and noise pollution. The festival, traditionally held from May to June, serves as a tourism indicator for the area. In 2023, the festival collaborated with Marvel and Disney’s 100th Anniversary celebrations, attracting over 500,000 visitors. The festival was initiated in 2002 to revive Penghu’s tourism industry after the China Airlines Flight 611 disaster, featuring fireworks performances and flight attendants dancing.2023/11/19 16:30
