Hsinchu City is set to host the "2026 Hsinchu City Indigenous Music Night - Fiw Fiw Swing Festival" on June 27 at the Hsinchu Train Station front plaza. The festival, themed "Fiw Fiw Swing Festival," which translates to the sound of wind blowing in indigenous languages, aims to echo Hsinchu's "Windy City" image.
The event will showcase the vibrant energy of indigenous culture through music and dance. Headlining the performances are Golden Melody Award winner Waa Wei (่่ฅฟ็ฆ) and nominee Eve Ai (ๅ่), alongside popular artists such as Shou (ๅฉๅณป็ขฉ) and Karencici (้ญ่ๅ). Various renowned indigenous cultural and artistic groups will also participate, presenting the diverse charm and contemporary vitality of indigenous Taiwanese culture.
Beyond the evening concert, the festival includes an "Indigenous Good Market" starting at 3 p.m. along the Clear Water Park on the moat. This market will feature indigenous specialty foods, cultural crafts, creative brands, and local indigenous community groups. Collaborating with the market brand "Haimei Market," the space will be designed with indigenous village concepts, including thatched-roof stalls, food trucks, and cultural experience activities. This aims to create a market space that blends cultural characteristics with lifestyle, allowing visitors to experience the unique charm of indigenous culture merging with city life.
Interactive activities are also planned, including an indigenous culture quiz, a digital scavenger hunt called "Treasure Hunt for Wind Baby," and DIY cultural experiences. Participants completing tasks can redeem limited market discount coupons and promotional items. The city invites everyone to join the festivities at the Hsinchu Train Station front plaza and Clear Water Park to feel the passion and energy of the Fiw Fiw Swing Festival.
