2026 Kaohsiung Salt and Pepper Chicken Carnival

The Kaohsiung Salt and Pepper Chicken Carnival is celebrating its sixth edition, creating an urban festival led by salt and pepper chicken, the king of Taiwanese fried snacks. Salt and pepper chicken is not just the soul of late-night cravings; it's also a quintessential representation of Taiwanese street culture. This year's event particularly focuses on 'Golden Sand Salt and Pepper Chicken' as its core theme, perfectly blending the rich, savory salted egg yolk (golden sand) with diverse international flavors and innovative culinary approaches, inviting vendors from various regions to participate. This festival is being fully upgraded to an international carnival, aiming to attract domestic and international tourists and enhance Kaohsiung's urban charm through markets, performances, and brand marketing. Dates: 2026/10/24 (Sat), 10/25 (Sun) Time: 15:00 - 21:00 Location: Far Eastern Department Store Kaohsiung - 1F Dream Square (No. 21, Sanduo 4th Rd., Lingya District, Kaohsiung City)
