Shopping District Carnival

Taipei's Shopping District Carnival occupies Taipei Expo Park from 26 to 28 September 2026, the Saturday–Monday of the Mid-Autumn / Teachers' Day long weekend. Specialty shops from shopping streets across the city set up markets, cultural performances and food stalls so visitors can sample district identities in one park, staged explicitly against a Mid-Autumn atmosphere. The venue is Expo Park in Zhongshan District (Yuanshan MRT). It is a free outdoor carnival, not a ticketed expo — useful if you are in town for the 25 September public holiday and want a public celebration rather than a private barbecue. Combine it with the Fine Arts Museum or a walk to the Lin An Tai homestead. Weekend crowds peak late afternoon; go earlier for stalls and stay for evening performances.
